Hi Sibanee,
You can't disable that edit button. What you can do is remove that Edit Button from that page layout which you are assigning at the click of your custom button.

Hi Sibanee,
Did you mean record type? Because there is no such thing in salesforce called 'deactivate a record'. Though, you can lock the record. But you can't 'deactivate or disable' it.

Thanks

I need to create a custom button called Colse.After clicking the button that the edit functionality shouldn't be there that means that record should be locked or the standard button Edit should be disabled or the record detail page should be readonly.How would I acieve any of this functionality?

  1. create a read-only page layout.
  2. create one record type and assign read-only page layout.
  3. on button click change the record type to newly created record type.

yes.We can do that but after assigning the pagelayout to the dummy recordtype still the edit button is accessible.using that we can edit the record and I want to disable edit property.

Hi,
For that you will have to write a javascript code for custom button, using that you can pass the ID of that record to an apex class where you will write your logic to assign the New read-only type page layout to your user.

once you have multiple record type in one object then Change Record Type will be available under a page layout >button
