Disable / Enable form fields through JavaScript

There are many scenarios where we need to disable all fields/controls on an Entity form. Here I am showing different ways to handle it through JavaScript.

function disableFields() {

var attributes = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();

for (var i in attributes) {

Xrm.Page.getControl(attributes[i].getName()).setDisabled(true);

Xrm.Page.getControl(“statuscode”).setDisabled(false);

}

}

function enableFields(){

var attributes = Xrm.Page.data.entity.attributes.get();

for (var i in attributes){

Xrm.Page.getControl(attributes[i].getName()).setDisabled(false);

}

}

• Enable / Disable a field

Xrm.Page.getControl(“fieldname”).setDisabled(false);

• Enable / Disable a Section

function sectiondisable (sectionname, disablestatus)

{

var ctrlName = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get();

for(var i in ctrlName) {

var ctrl = ctrlName[i];

var ctrlSection = ctrl.getParent().getName();

if (ctrlSection == sectionname) {

ctrl.setDisabled(disablestatus);

}

}

} 

• Enable / Disable a Tab

function tabdisable (tabname, disablestatus)

{

          var tab = Xrm.Page.ui.tabs.get(tabname);

 if (tab == null)

alert("Error: The tab: " + tabname + " is not on the form");

 else {

     var tabsections =  tab.sections.get();

     for (var i in tabsections) {

     var secname = tabsections[i].getName();

     sectiondisable(secname, disablestatus);

              }

                 }

}
