Hide Save button in Component view

Question

I have a custom GUI extension working that lets me override the Save command (see Rob's article http://www.curlette.com/?p=913).

Ideally I want to hide the button altogether when in the Component UI view - for which there does appear to be a doHide() method on the Tridion.Controls.RibbonButton itself which works well when I tested in Chrome Dev Tools.

What I can't figure is how to get to the Save button in order to call doHide()?

The following gives me all the controls on the ribbon bar

$display.getWindow().$controls.controls["Tridion.Controls.RibbonButton"]

Of which an object called UID_63 is the Save button:

So this works:

$display.getWindow().$controls.controls["Tridion.Controls.RibbonButton"].UID_63.doHide();

But there must be a nicer way than knowing that UID number?

There is a hasControl() method but I can only ever get false out of it:

$display.getWindow().$controls.hasControl("SaveBtn");

And the getControl() method seems to be for adding new controls, not getting current ones?

$display.getWindow().$controls.getControl(n, f, i);

Cheers

You can get a hold of the Save Button like this:

$display.getView().getWindow().$controls.getControl($("#SaveBtn"), "Tridion.Controls.RibbonButton").doHide()
