Customizing Remote Control › Control the Visibility of Viewer and Host Properties

Control the Visibility of Viewer and Host Properties

You can control the visibility of each property on the Advanced tab in the Viewer Properties dialog and the DSM Properties - Advanced tab.

To control the visibility of a property

1. Access the appropriate XML file, rcViewerConfig.xml or rcHostConfig.xml.
2. Change the value of the flags attribute for the relevant parameter. Valid values for the flags attribute are:

   0–1

   If set to either of these values, the property does not appear in the Advanced tab.

   2–7

   Indicate reserved values.

   8–9

   If set to either of these values, the property appears in the Advanced tab.

   9–15

   Indicate reserved values.

Example: Hide Compression Property

To prevent overriding the viewer's default compression strength setting, for example, you may want to hide the existence of this property. To remove this property from the Advanced tab, you need to set the flags attribute for the compressionstrength parameter to 0 or 1 in the rcViewerConfig.xml file:
