Prevent "Quick Access" field from displaying commands [message #1749562]

Recently I noticed that if I type a command id in the "Quick Access" field the command will appear in the list and can be executed by clicking on it.

But this was not the idea. The commands should only be called under specific conditions (e.g. the right object is selected ...). I've specified all the necessary conditions in plugin.xml and they work. But "Quick Access" field allows access to the commands just so... Great Smile

How to prevent it?

I think I've found a solution. The command should delegate the job to its handler. This can be achieved by moving everything from command's <visibleWhen> to handler's <activeWhen>.

For example:

<command commandId="a"
<visibleWhen
checkEnabled="true"> This attribute value delegates all the tests to the handler
</visibleWhen>
</command>

...

<handler>
...
<activeWhen checkEnabled="false">
<with variable="selection">
<and>
<iterate ifEmpty="false" operator="or">
<instanceof
value="java.lang.String">
</instanceof>
</iterate>
<test
property="somePropertyTester.CONNECTED_TO_RIGHT_DB">
</test>
</and>
</with>
</activeWhen>
...
</handler>
