Disabling Cancel Button during Import

ChessExpert

Hello there experts. I have a DATAPORT that I was calling from other object based on input file. I was able to make it work.
I am just wondering if there is a way to ‘Remove’ the ‘Cancel’ button during import process, so that users will not accidentally interrupt the import process.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Not that I have ever seen. You can have the dataport set a field in a table somewhere that says it has completed, that way you know if the user clicked Cancel.

What about setting the dataport property ShowStatus to No? That should do exactly what you want.
In case of a long run the user will however see no progress at all.

Why is that an issue? The import process runs in a transaction. If the user interrupts it "by accident" then he/she should repeat the process.

Thanks a lot everyone. Not a big deal though. There is an automatic processing of files before it gets to our system like FTP server processing. I just wanted to save some effort and time in handling 'interrupted' import process. I might have to do some more programming to handle and move files. Thanks a lot for tips and advices. ChessExpert.
