To hide a menu item from the SharePoint ribbon add a custom action to a module in your Visual Studio SharePoint project:<\/p>\n

\r\n\r\n  \r\n    \r\n      \r\n      <\/CommandUIDefinition>\r\n    <\/CommandUIDefinitions>\r\n  <\/CommandUIExtension>\r\n<\/CustomAction>\r\n<\/pre>\n
The example above will hide the New Folder ribbon menu item for all document libraries.<\/p>\n
Using a RegistrationType<\/em> of ContentType<\/em> and RegistrationId<\/em> of 0x<\/em> means it will be applied to all items.
\n
\nThe important part of the custom action is specifying the item’s location, which above is:<\/p>\n
\r\n\r\n<\/CommandUIDefinition>\r\n<\/pre>\n
Notice there’s nothing defined within the CommandUIDefinition<\/em>, doing this hides the menu item.<\/p>\n
An easy way to find out the Location<\/em> identifier is to open the list or library in IE and open the Developer Tools<\/em> ad-on – F12 key by default.  Using Select item by click<\/em> (ctrl + b) select the ribbon item you want and the Location<\/em> identifier will be in the id attribute of the selected item, as shown below:<\/p>\n
\"Ribbon<\/a><\/p>\n
The identifier is everything up to but not including the last dash character (-), so in this example it is Ribbon.Documents.New.NewFolder and not Ribbon.Documents.New.NewFolder-Large.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
