  You could use JavaScript similar to this (you would have to determine any conditions in the form's OnLoad event to trigger the fields becoming disabled).

  function doesControlHaveAttribute(control) {
      var controlType = control.getControlType();
      return controlType != "iframe" && controlType != "webresource" && controlType != "subgrid";
  }
  
  function disableFormFields(onOff) {
      Xrm.Page.ui.controls.forEach(function (control, index) {
          if (doesControlHaveAttribute(control)) {
              control.setDisabled(onOff);
          }
      });
  }
  
  function onLoad() {
      if (Xrm.Page.ui.getFormType() == 2) {
          if (Xrm.Page.getAttribute("name").getValue() != null) {
              disableFormFields(true);
          }
      }
  }

  Thanks for your reply. But your code seems doesn't work.  Is there a way to set the attribute of a form to disable the form instead of setting each control ?

  I feel there is a way like this.

  function disableFormFields(onOff) {

      Xrm.Page.ui.controls.forEach(function (control, index) {
          if (doesControlHaveAttribute(control)) {
              control.setDisabled(onOff);
          }
      });
  }

  function doesControlHaveAttribute(control) {
      var controlType = control.getControlType();
      return controlType != "iframe" && controlType != "webresource" && controlType != "subgrid";
  }

  You could also use the code below for disabling a single field:

   Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get("fieldname").setDisabled(true);

  Thanks for your reply.

  Must I use this way to loop each control and set the attribute to disabled? I am using the dynamic CRM 2011, is there an easy way to set the attribute of the form and all controls in the form are disabled?

  As JLattimer and I mentioned above, to disable a form on save or load, you have to use those scripts. To disable a field solely, use the second script as I said.
