Hi all, I have the following problem. I have a couple of checkboxes and radiobuttons. They all work fine but when I am in read-mode I can still change this boxes and buttons. The changes are not saved or anything, but I would to just disable/lock this things. Is this possible and how to do this?

Okay, I’ve allready found a solution. Because my radio buttons and checkboxes are in HTML in read-mode I can add the parameter “disabled”. For the lotus notes fields this also possible in the HTML tab.

Bram,
An alternative would be to hide the control fields when the document is in read mode and instead display them with separate display-only fields. That will also provide the benefit of only displaying what was actually chosen by the user - in my opinion it gives the read-only document a cleaner, more professional appearance. I make it a habit to never display fields rendered by controls (ie dialog lists, radio buttons, date/time controls) in read mode, but instead to use plain text computed for display (or computed text) to render them.

Yes, that’s also a solution, but the form has to have the same look filled or not filled in. That’s what the boss wants …
