I have implemented multiple view controls for my module as outlined in this post:

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/110/threadid/46342/scope/posts/Default.aspx

and it works nicely. However, one of the views is meant to be un-editable as it is just a list of items. when you click on an item in the list, the details view is loaded - this is intended to be editable. The problem is, edit permissions are set on the wrapping 'dispatcher' control so the edit button is available no matter what view you load.

Is there any way to hide the edit button programmatically? or is there another way i should be going about this.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for your reply wedwardbeck.

The module control type is 'View'. I just wanted to remove the pencil link in the footer of the module. I had tried setting the IsEditable attribute on the module but it is read-only.

Is it possible to set properties on the buttons in the module footer? When i think about it, i should keep the edit button there so you can add a new Item to the list. In that case i jsut want to add text beside the pencil link to say 'add new item'.

I was originally trying to use the one control for view and edit details simply because i liked the idea of staying on the same page when using the module. However, it looks to be a lot more straight forward if i let dnn navigate to a new page to display the edit control.

Thanks for your patience - as this is my first dnn module i'm learning as i go:)

This is a real problem for me and I'd really appreciate some help if anybody has overcome a similar problem or has any sugestions.

Thanks,
