Still need an answer on this please.

You are heading to the right direction. Disabling WebExplorerBarItem in client-side can be done simply by setting the value of Enabled property of the specific WebExplorerBarItem to false.

function button1_onclick() {
    var WEP1 = ISGetObject("WebExplorerPane1");

    // set the 'Enabled' property to "false" in order to have the WebExplorerBarItem disabled
    WEP1.Panes.GetNamedItem("bar_ExplorerPane01").PaneItems.GetNamedItem("itm_ItemA").Enabled = false;

    return true;
}

In WebExplorerBarItem, we can specify the TargetURL and TargetWindow property like the following snippet code.

<ISWebDesktop:WebExplorerBarItem Name="itm_ItemA" Text="Item A" TargetURL="http://www.intersoftpt.com/"
    TargetWindow="_blank" />

By setting those properties, clicking the WebExplorerBarItem will open a new browser window that opens the Intersoft Solutions home page. When WebExplorerBarItem is disabled, clicking on it will not open the specified URL in a new browser window.

In order to have the WebExplorerBarItem greyed out, we need to get its element (by invoking GetElement() method) and then set the value of disabled property to true. This step will make the WebExplorerBarItem becomes grey like ordinary disabled item shown in browser.

function button1_onclick() {
    var WEP1 = ISGetObject("WebExplorerPane1");

    // set the 'Enabled' property to "false" in order to have the WebExplorerBarItem disabled
    WEP1.Panes.GetNamedItem("bar_ExplorerPane01").PaneItems.GetNamedItem("itm_ItemA").Enabled = false;

    // get the element of WebExplorerBarItem and set the disabled property to "true"
    // in order to greyed out the row element
    WEP1.Panes.GetNamedItem("bar_ExplorerPane01").PaneItems.GetNamedItem("itm_ItemA").GetElement().disabled = true;

    return true;
}

Hope this helps.

Apologize for the delay in sending this.

Hi

Eric

Please try to use the code below and let us hear your feedback.

explorerPane.Panes.GetNamedItem("bar_VirtualServer").PaneItems.GetNamedItem("itm_ModifyVM").TargetURL = "http://www.google.com/ncr";

Thank you and have a nice day.
