Configuring the Hide Toolbar(s) command

In Task Assistant Manager, you can associate ArcMap commands with a step in the workflow. The Task Manager Utilities category in the Command Item Editor contains commands that may be useful during workflow creation. Commands are associated with specific workflow steps and allow a specific function to occur when you run that step in the task assistant workflow.

With the Hide Toolbar(s) command, specified toolbars disappear from ArcMap when a user executes a step in the task assistant workflow. For example, you can hide the Versioning toolbar if the working version has already been selected.

The Hide Toolbar(s) command will work with both ArcGIS for Desktop and any custom toolbars.

Note:

Toolbars can be displayed in ArcMap by clicking the View menu, pointing to Toolbars, and clicking the name of the toolbar.
