Can NAV detect that it is running Embedded (in SharePoint) ?

We are running some pages in NAV - rolecenter activity pages in particular - embedded in a SharePoint site.
In that case the CLIENTTYPE in NAV is 'Web', but I need to know the difference between the normal NAV webclient and the (embedded) client from NAV, because I need to hide a specific field in the normal Web client, that must be visible on the SharePoint Client.
It is not an option to create a copy of the page because Personalisation done on the page needs to be the same on all available clients (Windows/Web/Phone/SharePoint)
Any ideas?

Interesting question
I have never used the Web Client embedded in SharePoint. Are you able to specify a full URL there (I assume yes). Probably you can pass some kind of dummy filter for a custom field which always has this value? And then react on this in the page by setting the Visible property (of a Group containing one field) to TRUE. A Group because I remember field visibility can only be changed in OnInit and OnOpenPage and you get the filter the earliest in OnFindRecord().
Probably something to try. Let me know if this works or not.Cheers

I will get back to you soon I hope.

It works like a charm! The filter is already available in the OnOpenPage trigger, so I do not need to use a group.
Bummer is that now I would like to use the OnOpenPageEvent event to check the filter - but that event fires AFTER the OnOpenPage trigger executes. And the trigger does a RESET - killing my filter.
So for now I will just modify the trigger and hope for an 'OnBeforeOnOpenPage' event....
