Seems, I have found solution which doesn't require a big coding.

Place on the form some additional field (for example TextField1). Hide it.
Set for button Submit rule: hide it if the TextFiled is not equal to = '' (two single quites).
Save and install form.
In Taskspace or in DA or in Webtop go to path /System/Forms/<Your form name>. Open to edit (in Notepad or any text editor) one the forms template files: <your form name>.xfm with type dm_xfm_form.
Find there the code conserning the Submit button,
it is begins with "<xforms:trigger ...",
also you will find there "<xforms:label xforms:ref="instance('strings')/submit-trigger.label"/>"
and "<xforms:action><xforms:send xforms:submission="save"/></xforms:action>"
You need to add the code "<xforms:setvalue ref="TextField1" xforms:value="5555"/>" between "<xforms:action>" and
"<xforms:send xforms:submission="save"/>", so you will get:

"<xforms:action>
<xforms:setvalue ref="TextField1" xforms:value="5555"/>
<xforms:send xforms:submission="save"/>
</xforms:action>"
Save file and check it in with the same version.

That's all. If you create a form, enter some data and Submit form, you can't re-Submit form again.

Hi Ankit,

Sorry, but in How to enable & disable Submit & Save button using Form Builder??? the question is a little different

What exactly did you need?

If you need to show the Submit button once input fields are filled up this is one thing. This solved simple and without any customizations: just go to the Rules tab of the Submit button and specify the rules. But I would suggest you to make input field as required.

Or you want to show button after one click on this button? This is not quite simple and may would need some customization (write some code).

Hi,

My requirement is that the sumbit button should get disabled after clicking it omce so that the user can not re-submit the form with the same data. Any pointers to this would be very helpful.
