Removing pieces of Insert Opportunity screen

I am streamlining the opportunity process because ours is so much simpler than what is there. I am seeing that competitor, reseller, salesprocess, etc are deeply tied into this plugin.
Is there a clean way to untie something like salesprocess from this form? I am currently commenting out lines as they create errors, but this seems inadequate. Havs anyone else had to make similar changes to opportunities? |

Hi Matthew,
I clean it up a lot - being honest all I do is put a panel on the form, set its visible property to false and cut and paste the controls I want to hide into it. Always figured it was a bit much like hard work to actually delete the controls!!!

So far I am not getting as many errors. I change the visibility on the properties of each to off and comment out the controls causing errors. So far so good. I have to find each interior piece though, including the product information, opportunity detail, etc....fun!
I am glad to hear that we are not the only one overwhelmed by the detailed opportunity layout. |

| We all have the occasion to do the same. My standard practice is to make each of the controls I'm hiding much smaller (width=10,hieght=10) and change the color to green. Although the visibility is set to False, this method makes it much easier to see the controls in Architect when they are needed again. And if gives you more space. |

For hiding unused controls, we use a Best Practice model of adding a panel (calling it pnlHiddenControls), set it's color to yellow, and place it below everything else on the form.
Then we cut and past the unwanted OOTB controls onto this "hidden controls" panel. After all testing is finish we just set the panel's .Visible property to false.
This way we can bring anything back in a few clicks.
Oh yes, make sure to resize the form to make sure this panel is not exposed to get rid of the vertical scroll bar at runtime. Save.. and release! |
