DashMode(<Dashboard control> , <Mode>)

<Dashboard control>: Control name

Name of the Dashboard control to be used.

<Mode>: Integer constant (or combination of constants)

Edit options available for the user:
dashDelete Switch to edit mode: the user can hide the widgets in the Dashboard control.
dashMove Switch to edit mode: the user can move the widgets in the Dashboard control.
dashNoModif Close the edit mode: the user cannot modify the widgets in the Dashboard control.

<Result> = DashMode(<Dashboard control>)

<Result>: Integer constant

Current edit mode of the Dashboard control:
dashDelete Edit mode: the user can hide the widgets in the Dashboard control.
dashMove Edit mode: the user can move the widgets in the Dashboard control.
dashNoModif Standard mode: the user cannot modify the widgets in the Dashboard control.
dashResize Edit mode: the user can resize the widgets in the Dashboard control.

Remarks

Disabling options and bar of the edit mode

DashMode is used to disable some features of the Dashboard control. Deleting these features can make changes to the bar of the edit mode. Thus, if it is no longer possible to remove widgets, the bin button is not displayed in the toolbar.

Remark: To entirely disable the toolbar display on the Dashboard control, use AAFDisable associated with the aafDashEditMode constant.

Deleting the Edit mode for the end user (via the AAF)

DashMode is used to switch to edit mode through programming.

To prevent the user from switching to edit mode (via the context menu or with a long click), use AAFDisable with the aafDashEditMode constant.
