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 CheckBoxField ("Discontinued") that controls three other fields.
When "Discontinued" is checked, "UnitPrice", "UnitsInStock" and "UnitsOnOrder" are disabled (non-editable).
These fields will become enabled (editable) when "Discontinued" is unchecked.

Use the FieldsToEnable property of all the field classes to specify the fields that will be enabled when the state of the field is changed.

Use the FieldsToEnable property of the CheckBoxField class to specify the fields that will be enabled when the CheckBox is checked.
Use the FieldsToDisable property of the CheckBoxField class to specify the fields that will be disabled when the CheckBox will be checked.

"I must admit that your components are the most intuitive I've ever used your product suite is really great, but equally important, the support is even better! :)"
