Prevent a Replacement Form Region from Being Used to Create a New Item or from Being Modified in the Forms Designer

  • Article

Through the Actions menu or the Choose Form dialog, you can select a replacement or replace-all form region in the current folder to create a new item. Through the drop down list of the Design Form dialog, you can also select a replacement or replace-all form region and modify it in the Forms Designer. If you want to prevent a replacement or replace-all form region from being displayed in the above dialog boxes and menu, specify so in the form region manifest XML file that you register for the form region. For more information on registering a form region, see Specifying Form Regions in the Windows Registry.

To prevent a form region from being modified in the Forms Designer

  • In the form region manifest XML file, specify False as the value of the hidden element.

The following example disables a replacement form region from being used to create a new item or from being modified in the Forms Designer:

<hidden>false</hidden>

Note

You can assign either a string value or an integer value to hidden. The default value is False or 0. To prevent a form region from being used to create a new item or from being modified in the Forms Designer, assign either True or 1.
