I have developed an AddIn for ArcGIS 10.4 using Visual Studio 2015. My AddIn has several "buttons" defined in the config.esriaddinx XML file.

It is possible to completely hide a button when ArcMap starts? I know that I can override the button OnUpdate() event to disable the command, but I want to make it invisible to users.

My AddIn does have an Extension and I'm hoping I can put some code in the extension OnStartUp() event to either hide or remove a button.

    Just thinking out aloud so do not know what the exact commands are (or if possible, but I would imagine it is). You don't hide buttons you would remove it from it's parent container, in this case the toolbar. Explore that.

  • Thanks for the info! Do you know if this permanently removes them from the command bar? Or is it just for the current ArcMap session?

  • Good question,I would imagine it depends if the custom toolbar was stored in the MXD or normal template. If in the MXD and the MXD is saved then I would expect it to be permanently removed.
