Is there a way to hide all the fields at once in QGIS 1.7?

I see where I can hide one field at a time but I would like a button which does it all at once.

Do you mean field attributes displayed in a layer? Or 'layers'? – Simbamangu Oct 23 '12 at 11:14

with the GUI no but with a small Python script run in the Python console you can:

from qgis.utils import iface
layer = iface.activeLayer()
indexes = layer.pendingAllAttributesList()
for i in indexes:
      layer.setEditType(i, QgsVectorLayer.Hidden)

Copy and paste the following into the QGIS Python console and it should hide all the attributes on the layer.

What is the preferred way to save this bit of code in the interface somewhere? Or how easy is it to attach this to a ui button? I'd like to give a go at contributing to the project – Justin Oct 24 '12 at 11:47
