Optionally make a textbox read only with DF?

HI Mark, how are you updating? Do you have a querystring that signals that the page is in edit mode? if so, you could hide the name fields and show an equivalent read-only name field with question event that triggers on update.

I could add a parameter to the querystring for this purpose. Yeah. How do you trigger a question event on form update? or in this case, form open I think. - Mark Buelsing 3/31/2015

HI Mark, make the querystring on update something like:

http://www.yoursite.com/UserAdmin.aspx?Mode=update

And create a hidden field called "Mode" that retrieves from querystring. Move it's sort order to the very top.

Then create a question event based on the Mode = Update and if it is, hide the editable name field and display the read only name field.

I hope this points you in the right direction.

I did not know that I could run a question event on open! I will be trying this technique this afternoon. Thanks! - Mark Buelsing 4/2/2015

You can but it has to be a hidden field.
