Lock your forms!

The new Icetips Magic Locks make it easy to control what kind of access users have to view only forms. You can lock any type of control so it is completely inaccessible. You can also allow access to certain controls and allow the data to be saved.

Click here to view our Introduction Video.

The Magic Locks can lock down checkboxes, radio buttons, entry fields, buttons, text, RTF controls - any type of control that you want to lock. By default it locks everything if the form is called in ViewOnly mode. However, you can set it to Change mode and open up some fields that you may want the user to be able to enter data into, for example a text field with comments. It can also be used with forms in Insert and Change mode when the locking is conditional.

The Magic Locks consist of a set of Classes and templates that enhance the View Only forms to better indicate read-only controls. It also locks checkboxes, radio buttons, drop down controls, etc. which can not be set as read-only. This reduces confusion, as users can not make visual changes to the data.

The Magic Locks can also allow updates of certain fields in View mode, which is not possible with regular View mode. This allows users to update certain fields even if the rest of the form is completely locked.

Settings for each control can be overridden in the procedure template. Background color, font color and font style for locked controls can be set with a global template and overridden in a procedure template.

We have also released a demo application that demonstrates the use of the Magic Locks. This demo is also included in the Magic Locks install so you can see exactly how we did it.

Magic Locks 1.0 were released on August 21, 2007. Magic Locks 1.1 were released on October 1, 2007. Magic Locks 1.10.100 were released on November 14, 2007
