The MForm controls may be displayed in 2 modes:

• Edit mode - the default mode, lets the user modify the content
• View mode - lets the user only watch the contents

In the View mode, the add and remove buttons are not rendered, and the leafs are always displayed as spans

The mode can be set on any level of the MForm controls tree.

The mode of each control is calculated in this way:

• If the control has the mode set, this mode is used
• If any of the controls precedessors has the mode set, the nearest precedessor's mode is used
• Otherwise the Edit mode is used
