This property determines whether the user will be able to edit the input of a field or only view it. Currently the only replacement for this property is the "Read Only" property, but this property may be needed for the form editor.
The modes available in the designer are the following:
Parent. This mode inherits the mode set in the main form of the DynaForm. That's the reason why, inside the "mode" property of the Form, the "Form view" mode is not available since the hierarchy of elements in a DynaForm starts with the Form. For example, if the "Disabled" option has been set inside the form properties, and the mode "Form View" has been set inside the control, the control will be disabled since the form property will be inherited while running a case.
Edit. This mode is set by default every time a control is added and allows users to input text inside the DynaForm controls.
View. This mode changes the style of the control, showing only the label and changing the input box of the control to a label without text.
Disabled. This mode disables the input of text inside control fields with input boxes. For dropdown, radio, checkbox and checkgroup controls it also disables the selection of elements. For the suggest control, it disables the input of text and shows "Untitled" inside of the control field.
The mode property also affects the appearance of the field, so the user can see whether a field is in edit, view or disabled mode. Controls in "view" mode only display their label, but do not display an outline of the field. Likewise, dropdown controls only display their label, but do not allow the user to see the outline of the dropdown box, nor see any of the other available options. Radio (group), checkboxes and suggest display all their available options, but their borders are slightly grayer to indicate that they are in view mode. Controls that have been "disabled" have the same appearance as controls in the view mode, but when the cursor hovers over them, the shape of it changes to a prohibited sign.
