How do you programatically remove (not disable) a button from TinyMCE?

Question

I can disable the table button using this:

  tinyMCE.activeEditor.controlManager.get('divId_table').setDisabled(true)

but what I'm interested in is actually hiding it. Any idea on how to accomplish that?

Thank you!

Answer 1

I'm not familiar with TinyMCE myself, but since you appear to have javascript access to the element itself, all you need to do is set it's display property to "none".

document.getElementById("theButton").style.display = "none";

Answer 2

First, you have to use the advanced theme.

Then, add this option in the TinyMCE init code.

tinyMCE.init({
    ...
    theme_advanced_disable : "bold, justifyleft, justifyright"
});

I hope this might help someone.
