Setting visible=false on a tool hides the tool from the customization screen and from the quick customization drop down. I am trying to hide some tools but allow the user to add them back if they wish. How should I accomplish that?
You mean, you want customer can customize toolbar at runtime.
Yes, but I already have that turned on. Right now I can configure the toolbar at runtime to hide tools. What I want to do is hide tools by default and allow the user to show them using the configuration. Using the visible property on the tool not only hides the tool but it also removes it from the configuration screen.
