Introduction
Oracle APEX Interactive Grids are highly flexible for managing data, but sometimes you need to customize the toolbar by hiding default buttons like “Edit,” “Save,” or “Add Row.” This can be useful to streamline the interface, improve security, or create a more guided workflow. In this article, we will show you how to achieve this customisation using JavaScript and dynamic actions in Oracle APEX.
Why we need to do :
Using JavaScript to Hide Toolbar Buttons
You can hide default toolbar buttons in Oracle APEX Interactive Grids by manipulating the action framework with JavaScript. Here is a simple example to hide “Edit,” “Save,” and “Add Row”:
Make sure “ontoor“ matches the Static ID of your Interactive Grid. If it’s different, replace it with the correct Static ID.

Implementation Guide: Step-by-Step Instructions
Here’s how to implement the JavaScript code to hide toolbar buttons in Oracle APEX Interactive Grids:
Step 1: Assign a Static ID to the Interactive Grid
To reference your Interactive Grid in JavaScript, it needs a Static ID:
- Open Oracle APEX: Navigate to the page containing your Interactive Grid in the Application Builder.
- Assign a Static ID: In the “Attributes” section, assign a unique Static ID, like “ontoor.”
Step 2: Create a Dynamic Action to Execute JavaScript
To ensure the JavaScript code runs on page load, create a dynamic action:
Create a New Dynamic Action:
- Go to the “Dynamic Actions” section in Oracle APEX and click “+” to create a new dynamic action.
- Set the Event to “Page Load.”
- Give the dynamic action a descriptive name, such as “Hide Toolbar Buttons.”
Add JavaScript to Hide Toolbar Buttons:
- Click “+” to add an action.
- Set the action type to “Execute JavaScript.”
- Paste the JavaScript code snippets to hide the “Edit,” “Save,” and “Add Row” buttons.
Step 3: Test Your Changes
After creating the dynamic action and adding the JavaScript code, test the Interactive Grid to ensure the buttons are hidden and the grid functions as expected.
