One way to lock down a form is through JavaScript. Let’s go through how to do this by locking down the Leads form.
Create a new solution and add the Leads form:
Select Form Properties and Add from the Form Library. We will be adding a new JavaScript library:
Select New:
Enter information below:
Click Text Editor and enter the JavaScript:
function ReadOnly ()
{
var cs = Xrm.Page.ui.controls.get();
for (var i in cs)
{
var c = cs[i];
if (c.getName() != "" && c.getName() != null)
{
if (!c.getDisabled()) {c.setDisabled(true);}
}
}
}Press Save and Publish.
Select Add:
On the Form Properties page, click Add under Event Handlers. Select the new library and for the function type ReadOnly:
Click OK, Save and Publish the form. The function is now ready to use.
Go to a Leads record. All fields will be disabled:

This is great except your line: if (!c.getDisabled()) {c.setDisabled(true); is missing the closing bracket which is why it didn’t work for me and I got a JavaScript error. Once that was changed, it worked! Thanks a ton!!
Good catch Scott! I have updated the code above, thank you.
This will not work for sub-grids and notes unfortunately. So form will be partially locked.
How to ignore quick view control?
There is a lock symbol showing up in front of quick view control as well. I don’t want it to lock quick view control which is non editable by default.
Great one mate!
