Disable the submission of a form

Question

I need to make a form read-only under certains conditions : what I did is to not add the $form['submit'] button.

This way I can't submit the form. But I wonder if it is enough ...

Do you know if I ca be 100% sure that nobody could find a way to submit the form ?

Thanks !

You can set #executes_submit_callback as FALSE

eg : $form['submit']['#executes_submit_callback'] = FALSE;

To make sure nobody submit the form create a custom validate function that always set error on form ,(using form_set_error).

In that validate function you have to check for the circunstnaces that makes the form available to submission or not.
