Make all the fields read only

I've an Orbeon form. Once the form is filled and submitted through the system, I want to make all the fields read-only.

Here are the steps to do so:

1. Fire an action when the form is loaded.

2. My system will determine whether the form is submitted or not and return a true/false in response.

3. However, I can set all the values of all controls in response to the service. But is there a way to set them read-only?

The requirement is to make all the fields conditionally read-only. The result of the condition will be determined by my system.

Hi Kush,

You could store the result of your service call in a hidden field, and use
the value of that field to make every section read-only, from the
"Section/Grid Settings" dialog (shown below). The downside is that you'll
need to repeat that expression for each section. We have a feature planned
for a future release which will make this much easier (so you can look at my
suggestion as a workaround!). You'll let me know if this works for you.

Hi Kush,

Did you get a chance trying to use a hidden field, and have its value
influence the read-onliness of several sections?
