How to disable toolbar items?

Hello,

I want to disable toolbar items in an CKEditor instance. I guess this has to be done with the registered commands. I tried the following but it looks like some event after "pluginsLoaded" is enabling the command/button again (for a moment the source-Button is disabled):

...
this.editorinstance = CKEDITOR.replace(this.getEl().dom, this.config);
this.editorinstance.on('pluginsLoaded', function(ev) {
   this.editorinstance.getCommand('source').disable();
}, this);
...

What have I done wrong and is that the right approach to do it?

I hope i didn't overlooked a topic which already covers that - if so I'm sorry.

Sincerely,
Peter

I changed the handled event from "pluginsLoaded" to "instanceReady" and now it works.

But I'm still not sure if this is the right approach...

Thank you, unixfan.
It works for me too.

To CKEditor team:
Wouldn't it be simpler way to allow setting a command state side by side with adding the command? Like this
editor.addCommand('cmdName',execObj).setState(TRISTATE_DISABLED);

Re: How to disable toolbar items?

Hi, I wanted to disable, enable toolbar items dynamically, i am able to disable them one by one using the command :
editor.getCommand( 'source' ).setState(0);
editor.getCommand( 'templates' ).setState(0);

Is there any way to disable all the buttons in one go and re-enable them in next click?
