How to: Hide a Menu Item in the ECB from SharePoint List Items

How to: Hide a Menu Item in the ECB from SharePoint List Items: "How to: Hide a Menu Item in the ECB from SharePoint List Items"

ou can add new custom actions to the Edit Control Block (ECB) menu by using the Features framework. However, you cannot use this method to do the reverse – to hide existing ECB menu items– because they are rendered by using the ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript) file, which is core.js. Note that modifying the core.js file is not supported or recommended.

Therefore, to hide ECB menu items, you must create a customcore.js file, modify this file to hide menu items, and then render the customcore.js file through a custom master page. Note that the out-of-the-box core.js file must remain in the custom master page; for that reason, your customcore.js file should have an attribute “Defer” with the value true.

The following steps allow you to create a customcore.js file and render it through the custom master page.
