How can I disable the Employee Timecard (EP406000) 'update' button - acumatica

Question

I've been able to disable the insert and delete buttons on the Employee Timecards screem (EP406000) - but the update button doesn't seem to care. Here's my code:
protected void TimecardFilter_RowSelected(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
{
Base.create.SetEnabled(false);
Base.update.SetEnabled(false);
Base.delete.SetEnabled(false);
}
It works for the insert and delete - but not for the update. I noticed in the source code that the code for the update button is a little different in that it doesn't have a [PXUIField] attribute, along with a few others. The insert and delete buttons have a similar setup and attributes, but update is definitely different. Not sure if this is why.
Bottom line: How can I disable the update button on the Employee Timecard (EP406000) screen?

Your diagnostic that the Update action is missing the PXUIField attribute is spot on.
Some button properties functionality requires having a PXUIField attribute.:
You can redefine the Update action to add the PXUIField attribute:
using PX.Data;
namespace PX.Objects.EP
{
public class TimecardPrimary_Extension : PXGraphExtension<TimecardPrimary>
{
public PXAction<TimecardPrimary.TimecardFilter> update;
[PXButton(Tooltip = Messages.EditTimecardToolTip, ImageKey = PX.Web.UI.Sprite.Main.RecordEdit)]
[PXUIField]
protected virtual void Update()
{
EPTimeCard row = PXSelect<EPTimeCard, Where<EPTimeCard.timeCardCD, Equal<Current<TimecardWithTotals.timeCardCD>>>>.Select(Base);
if (row == null) return;
PXRedirectHelper.TryRedirect(Base, row, PXRedirectHelper.WindowMode.InlineWindow);
}
protected void TimecardFilter_RowSelected(PXCache sender, PXRowSelectedEventArgs e)
{
Base.create.SetEnabled(false);
Base.update.SetEnabled(false);
Base.delete.SetEnabled(false);
}
}
}
Adding the PXUIField attribute will make the SetEnabled method work:
If you double-click on a grid record it will invoke the Grid default action (update in this case).
When double-clicking the record it will notify the user that the action is disabled:
To prevent invoking a disabled default action, you can customize the grid action bar to remove the default action:
