Hi guys,

In a form, what actually handle the Edit button in Top Action panel to appear ? I have a custom form, which in all of its data source I have set AllowEdit to No, but still Edit button appear.

And how to make it disappeared.

Thanks,

Hi ken,

I think you need to set Allow create to No on the datasource, then only Edit or save button will be disabled.

But if I put AllowCreate to No also, does it will impact on my code ? because inside the form, I have process to create new record of this tables.

Then why you want to disable the edit button?

If you want to create a record in the form you must have edit or save button. You cannot change that.

Hi Girish,

Which means this is standard behavior and their framework ? I'm ok if cannot change that, it is just not correct in UX perspective.

The intention is because after the record created, user no need to Edit anything. That's why I want to hide it instead.

The creation is through button. The form only need to show the table records.

Thanks,

Hi Ken, Try changing ViewEdit mode to View in form extension class. I am not sure if it will hide the Edit button but your requirement to disable datasource editable might be fulfilled and new records can be created from button which I am assuming does not user to input values in your form.

This is the standard UI framework - Its handled by FormViewOption property - If you set it to View mode form will be opened with the Edit button - If you set it to Edit mode form will be opened with save button enabled - This is a standard UI process and you cannot change that - One option will be Setting the allow create to No on the DataSource level but you want to create the record. So better leave it as it is and instead explain them about the UI framework to the client.

Allowed it to no on a formds property won't help you. On the active method of that datasource get the form datasource and then ds.allowedit(false);

I understood - Suppose let us take a grid with new button - In that case Edit and save button is for all the records not for single record. If you click one time Edit button whole form become editable.

If you want to again get it back to Edit mode, you can navigate to Options (Action pane) >> Edit >> Read mode.

Hi guys,

An update, I just tried what Mohit suggested. It works. Put the form View Edit Mode to View makes it disappeared. Also the action pane > Options doesn't have the selection make the form to Edit.

Edit doesn't disappear its changed to Save right?
