Hiding categories in the view designer

[Former Member]

I'm on NW731 SP4. How to permanently hide the categories in the view designer? It's taking up valuable space, it's driving me crazy. Whenever I mimimize/collapse the categories, they will appear again. See the attached screenshot for clarification.

The categories could be hidden by enhancing the method RENDER of ABAP class CL_WDY_WB_LS_RENDERING_SERVICE. The relevant part of the code:

  if is_author_mode = abap_false and edit <> 'S'.
*  build up the toolbar within the first vd_column
*  only create the toolbar if author mode is deactivated and
*  edit mode <> display
    ur_splittercell = clur_nw7_factory=>splittercell( id = '_vdcell1' ).
    ur_splitterrow->cells_add( ur_splittercell ).
    ur_splittercell->content = create_toolbar( ).
  endif.

In display mode edit = 'S' and in change mode edit = 'M'.

I guess it's not possible by configuration, I'm closing the discussion thread.
