Hi,

   Can anyone help me. As I have created a custom button in existing tab of all the entities. Right now I have to hide it or delete it. 

Thanks,

    Hi,

    You will need to find which entities are customising the buttons that you have added to the application ribbon.

    Perhaps the easiest way to do this would be to export a solution with all entities in it, then unzip and search the customizations.xml for ID of the button/group you are trying to remove. Once you've found which entities there are references to this ID in, you can load a solution with just those entities into the Ribbon Workbench and uncustomize them in the solution elements panel then publish.

    Hope this helps,

    Scott

    Hi Kasani,

    There are dependencies attached to your custom button which is not allowing you to hide/delete the button.

    Get rid of the dependencies and try again. Below post gives you a step by step process to achieve this.

    Hi Mithilesh,

       I have used above blogs, while hiding the button I'm getting the following Error:

    The RibbonDiff (f068987b-258f-e411-916b-001aa03746ec)component cannot be deleted because it is referenced by 2 other components. For a list of referenced components, use the RetrieveDependenciesForDeleteRequest.

    Can you help me in resolve in this.

    Thanks,

    Kasani

    Hi Kasani,

    Use the Ribbon Workbench to solve your problem. Below are the links to download the Solution. Download and install the Solutions that suits your version of Dynamics CRM.

    Download Solution

    ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../80806-download-ribbon-workbench-for-crm-2011-2013-2015

    Getting Started Video

    www.develop1.net/.../Ribbon-Workbench-for-Dynamics-CRM-2011.aspx

    Alternatively you can export the Solution, unzip it and do your modification in Customizations.xml. Use any XML Editor (eg Visual Studio) to do the changes. If you are new in modifying XML entries, I would suggest you to go with Ribbon Workbench.

    It is one of the tools which every developer should have.

    Thanks,

    Mithilesh Kumar

    I would use the ribbon workbench.

    ribbonworkbench.uservoice.com/.../80806-download-ribbon-workbench-for-crm-2011-2013-2015

    or

    CRM 2011 Visual Ribbon Editor

    crmvisualribbonedit.codeplex.com

    using those tools makes it easier way to work with button and ribbon changes.

    You can then either delete the custom button

    You could change the display rule to never show if you just want to hide the button
