Programmicatly check if form is in read-only mode

[digitor]

Is there a way in code I can check if the form is currently in
read-only mode?

Hi,

You don't have access to controls by code in InfoPath is it is what you are
after. If some of your controls need to be read-only and you need to know
about it, you can do the following:
create a new node (field1) in you schema to hold a boolean and use
condtional formatting to set the read-only property of your controls based on
the value of field1 (true or false).
Then, by code you can check the value or change it for that matter...

Hope that it helps.

the problem i have is that if 2 people open the same form and one has
it in read-only mode they are still able to click a button which does
an action on the database - which i want to prevent

Then, if your form is read-only, you could update a node in your schema to
reflect that status. you could then use conditional formatting to disable
your buttons based on the value of that node. The only button available to
these users (having the form in read-only mode) would be a close button.

There is a "IsReadOnly" property on the XDocument object that will be
true if the document was opened in "Read-Only" mode.
