</div>

onLoad I have a script (Hide\_Toolbar\_Text) with the following code:

```auto
application.setToolbarVisible('text',false);

```

However, when the form is loaded it still shows the text toolbar.

What am I missing?

Thank you,  
David

The command is:

```auto
application.setToolbarVisible('text',false)

```

You should either double-click the command or type app then control+space to get the contextual menu - so you don’t accidentally type the wrong command.

Hope this helps.

What is different?

I believe this should have worked. Are you sure the onload method is triggered?  
Also you can disable the whole toolbar by using the kiosk plugin.

```auto
plugins.kioskmode.setToolBarVisible(false);

```

Hope this helps.

I created a method (Open\_DB) which included

```auto
plugins.kioskmode.setToolBarVisible(false);

```

and added it to the on open method, yet I still get a text toolbar on that one layout that is show using showFormInDialog – is this a bug?

All other forms work just fine, no toolbars at all.

I created a global, and set it to my name (‘David’), and added it to my OnLoad method. And sure enough that works, but

```auto
application.setToolbarVisible('text',false)

```

does not.

Hi David,

You use a FormInDialog. In the showFormInDialog function you can set the text toolbar to false or true.  
Are you by any chance setting it to true?

For reference this what the syntax looks like:

```auto
application.showFormInDialog(form,[x],[y],[width],[height],[dialog_title],[resizable],[showTextToolbar],[closeAllOnCloseButton])

```

You ROCK Robert… sure enough, I had it set to true in the showFormInDialog function.

Well, I all the wiser knowning that this function overides other functions when called for onLoad or onShow.

Thanks again Robert!
