Configuring Table Properties Dialog Box With Contribute

[Eletrotec]

Hi,
This is a query regarding the customisation of Contribute 3 / 3.1.
What I require, is to lock off certain aspects of the properties dialog box
for the properties of tables. I have successfully done this for the dialog
boxes where .htm and .js files exist, but I can't do it when it references the
document object model:
command="dw.showProperties('tables');" id="DWMenu_Table_TableProperties"
Any help would be great.
TIA.

Haven't worked with Contribute much, but since it appears to be calling
a "built in" API call rather than running a Command file, I think that
this might not be possible for you to accomplish.

I'd suggest that you try checking out the Contribute configuration
folder for a file that contains the settings for the Table object,
perhpas it is within a Command, or maybe even a Properties inspector. If
it is like Dreamweaver though, that property inspector is built in and
not modifiable.

However, it may be possible to create a table inspector that overrides
the built in one. In Dreamweaver you'd set a higher prooirty, not sure
if that's possible in Contribute though.

Ah, of course.
Instead of creating a new custom property box (which I don't have a clue of
doing), why don't I just point the menu option to the existing html property
box which I have already customised?
Thanks for the steer.
