    I need to set a whole section of controls readonly, as they are only editable as part of a dialog process accessed by certain roles via a commandbar button. Unfortunately padlocks on all the fields in a section looks ugly - I was wondering if it was possible to set a whole section readonly or use the quickview form from the same entity but this doesn't seem possible. Constructing a custom readonly html webresource does seem a bit painful... is this the only way?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    The supported way of doing this would be to disable the fields such that they get padlocks.  There isn't any other way of disabling fields on the form such that they don't get the padlocks.

    Creating a web resource would also be a supported way - but you would have to ask the question to your stakeholders "is it worth $x to remove the padlocks". It might be that they would rather have padlocks than the expense of developing and supporting a custom web resource? 

    Hope this helps,

    Scott

    try

    Hiding Section
    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabIndex).sections.get(sectionIndex).setVisible(false);
    or
    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabIndex).sections.get("sectionName").setVisible(false);

    Showing Section
    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabIndex).sections.get(sectionIndex).setVisible(true);
    or
    Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabIndex).sections.get("sectionName").setVisible(true);

    @Faisal, hiding is not the requirement. @Scott, a whole section of padlocks looks ugly whereas a quickview form has only one and would look a lot nicer, maybe one for MS Connect...
