Just remember to call ‘HideAssociatedViewButtons’ with proper arguments, it takes two argument first ID of the link in left navigation area and second is the title of that button<\/strong> both can be picked with IE toolbar easily and put this code Onload of the entity form in which you want to hide that button.<\/p>\n
