Hide Quick info in Sitecore through code

Question

I want to hide quick info section through code instead of unchecking the check box in Application Options dialog box. Can someone help in this?

The following code does exactly what your looking for.

Add this code below:

namespace Custom.Framework.SC.Extensions.Pipelines
{
    using Sitecore.Pipelines.LoggedIn;
    using SC = Sitecore;

    /// <summary>The default quick info.</summary>
    public class DefaultQuickInfo : SC.Pipelines.LoggedIn.LoggedInProcessor
    {
        /// <summary>The process.</summary>
        /// <param name="args">The args.</param>
        public override void Process(LoggedInArgs args)
        {
            const string DefaultToVisible = "false";

            SC.Diagnostics.Assert.ArgumentNotNull(args, "args");
            SC.Diagnostics.Assert.IsTrue(
              SC.Security.Accounts.User.Exists(args.Username),
              args.Username);

            var user = SC.Security.Accounts.User.FromName(
              args.Username,
              true);

            SC.Diagnostics.Assert.IsNotNull(user, "user");

            var sitecoreDomain = SC.SecurityModel.DomainManager.GetDomain(
              "sitecore");

            SC.Diagnostics.Assert.IsNotNull(sitecoreDomain, "sitecoreDomain");

            if (user.Domain != sitecoreDomain
              || user.Name.ToLower().EndsWith("\\" + sitecoreDomain.AnonymousUserName))
            {
                SC.Diagnostics.Log.Warn(this + " : unexpected security domain or user : " + user.Name, this);
                return;
            }

            var key = "/" + args.Username + "/UserOptions.ContentEditor.ShowQuickInfo";

            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(user.Profile[key]))
            {
                user.Profile[key] = DefaultToVisible;
                user.Profile.Save();
            }
        }
    }
}

Then patch in this configuration change to add the processor to the appropriate place:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
  <sitecore>
    <processors>
      <loggedin>
        <processor patch:after="processor[position()=last()]" type="Custom.Framework.SC.Extensions.Pipelines.DefaultQuickInfo, Custom.Framework.SC.Extensions" />
      </loggedin>
    </processors>
  </sitecore>
</configuration>
