The Super Form supports the ability of linking fields. Using this feature you can set up some of the fields to depend on other fields. Thus these dependent fields will be enabled / disabled based on the state of the field they depend on. For example some fields can be enabled (editable) only when a check box is checked, otherwise they will be disabled (non-editable).

This example showcases the use of a DropDownListField ("Country") that controls two other fields, based on a condition. When "USA" is selected in the "Country" drop down list, the "State" drop down list is enabled and the "Province" text box is disabled. When any other country other than USA is selected in the "Country" drop down list, the "State" drop down list is disabled and the "Province" text box is enabled.

The DropDownListField exposes various properties that are used to configure the conditional linking:

FieldsToEnable - gets or sets a value indicating the fields that will be enabled when some specific items are selected.
EnablingValues - gets or sets a value indicating the comma separated item values that will be used by the FieldsToEnable property.
FieldsToDisable - gets or sets a value indicating the fields that will be disabled when some specific items are selected.
DisablingValues - gets or sets a value indicating the comma separated item values that will be used by the FieldsToDisable property.

"Thank you very much for your support. It is actually quite nice to receive lightning fast responses especially when one is on the other side of the world."
