## Remarks

The xdDesignMode type is used for attributes in the form definition file (.xsf) to specify whether a view can be opened in design mode ("normal"), or whether the view is not permitted to be opened in design mode ("protected").

Note This item is not supported when the Disable Service Pack features option on the Advanced tab of the Options dialog box in InfoPath is selected or when Microsoft Office 2003 Editions Service Pack 1 or later is not installed. Any form defined by a form definition file (.xsf) that includes this item cannot be opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.

      </xsd:restriction>
