in.

Control the Display of Command Items

The way a menu or ribbon button item is displayed indicates its availability

in the program. A menu or ribbon button item can be displayed as:

■ Grayed out (disabled)

■ Marked with a check marker or border

■ Both grayed out and marked

Ribbon button items do not display a check mark when marked; only a border

is displayed.

NOTETo disable or mark ribbon button items, the “~” or “!.” sequence cannot

be placed before a command name explicitly; it must be inside a DIESEL expression.

Gray Out (Disable) Menu or Ribbon Button Items

You gray out a menu or ribbon button item by doing one of the following:

■ Beginning a name with a tilde (~)

■ Using a DIESEL string expression

Ribbon button items only support the use of DIESEL string expressions. For

more information about using DIESEL expressions, see DIESEL Expressions in

Macros. When grayed out, the macro and submenus associated with the menu

or ribbon button item are made inaccessible.

In the following example, the tilde (~) is placed at the beginning of the Copy

Link command label in the Name cell of the Properties pane.
