Removing the Default Editor Parts from SharePoint Web Parts 06 September 2011 Follow @madhur25 Tweet I was recently asked how to remove the Editor Parts (Appearance, Layout, Advanced, etc) from custom Web Parts. class MyEditorPart : EditorPart { protected override void CreateChildControls() { // this line hides the default EditorParts Parent.Controls[2].Visible = false; base.CreateChildControls(); } public override bool ApplyChanges() { // do stuff here return true; } public override void SyncChanges() { // do stuff here } } public class MyWebPart : WebPart { public override EditorPartCollection CreateEditorParts() { ArrayList aryParts = new ArrayList(); MyEditorPart myEditor = new MyEditorPart(); myEditor.ID = this.ID + "_myEditorPart"; aryParts.Add(myEditor); return new EditorPartCollection(aryParts); } // do more stuff here... }
