Lock fields permanently

[FabioSpiga]

I need to lock all the fields in a form, after clicking a button.

I have used the following script, seen in the documentation, but when I save the form and reopen it, the fields are all again editable.

//Disabling all form fields
function disableAllFields() {
    // Get the field containers from each page.
    for (var nPageCount = 0; nPageCount < xfa.host.numPages; nPageCount++) {
        var oFields = xfa.layout.pageContent(nPageCount, "field");
        var nNodesLength = oFields.length;
        // Set the field property.
        for (var nNodeCount = 0; nNodeCount < nNodesLength; nNodeCount++) {
            oFields.item(nNodeCount).access = "readOnly";
        }
    }
}

How can disable permanently the fields?

My guess is that you are not saving the "state" of the form and it is being reset when you re-open the form. On the Form properties page undeer Defaults make sure that the radio button under the "Preserve Scripting changes to form when saved" is set to Automatically.

Place one hidden checkbox and update the value (default is 0) to 1 on click of the button to execute disableAllFields() method.

While opening always check the value of the hidden check box and if the value is 1 make the form fields are readonly.

Also you can make simply topsubformname.access="readOnly" which will give the same as ur function.

But any case u can check with some hidden field value and achieve this.
