Disable Attachment field

Based on the user logged in, I enable or deisable access to add an attachement using this code in JS Onload:

var ctrlMod = Runner.getControl(pageid,'AttachmentModerator');
ctrlMod.setDisabled();

This prevents the user from adding an attachment but he can still delete the existing attachment

How do I disable those radio buttons too

Thanks

Since I posted this close to 3 weeks ago, I have searched and searched without success for a solution.

If there is no solution to this currently, can it probably to looked into in future updates.

Thank you

Why don´t you just hide the complete field it certain users are logged in?

Thanks mbintex,
I considered that, but I want the user to be able to open/download the attachment but not be able update or delete the attachement.

If those are the only radio buttons on your page you could search them all and hide in javascript onload event of your page:

var btns = document.querySelectorAll('input[type=radio]')
for(var i=0;i<btns.length;i++){

btns[i].setAttribute('style', 'display:none'); //remove radio button
btns[i].nextSibling.textContent = ''; //set text to empty

}

Thanks cristi, brilliant idea!
But there are 3 attachment fields on the page and only one is accessible to any logged in user, the other 2 are view only.
So using your method, is there way to get the control name or ID in the loop so I can exclude which one should not be disabled

Upload controls are grouped in divs.
If you open web developer tools in firefox and search for the div that you want to disable radio controls it will have a data-fieldname attribute which is the same as the field name in database (I have an upload field in the database that I named "file"):

img alt

Now change the code posted before like this (two choices for finding radio buttons in divs - you decide...):

var btns = document.querySelectorAll('[data-fieldname="file"] input[type=radio]'); //this finds all divs with data-fieldname attribute "file" AND radio buttons

var btns = document.querySelectorAll('[data-fieldname]:not([data-fieldname="file"]) input[type=radio]'); //or if you want to exclude div with data-fieldname "file"

for(var i=0;i<btns.length;i++){

btns[i].setAttribute('style', 'display:none'); //remove radio button
btns[i].nextSibling.textContent = ''; //set text to empty

}

Repeat the code for first btns div with another field name or use the second btns code to exclude one div - your choice
