    Enabled Property (ElementControl)
    In This Topic
    Gets or sets whether the control can receive focus and respond to user actions.
    Syntax
    'Declaration
     
    Public Overridable Shadows Property Enabled As Boolean
    'Usage
     
    Dim instance As ElementControl
    Dim value As Boolean
     
    instance.Enabled = value
     
    value = instance.Enabled
    public virtual new bool Enabled {get; set;}

    Property Value

    Boolean value: true if element is enabled; false otherwise
    Remarks

    If this property is set to true, you can still specify that the control cannot receive focus by setting the CanFocus property to false.

    If the CanFocus property is set to true, you can move the focus to the control by calling the Focus method.

    Contrast this property with the CanFocus property and the Selectable property. Use the CanFocus property to specify whether a control can receive the focus. Use the Selectable property to specify whether users can interact with the control, such as pressing a button.

    Example
    control.Picture = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\\smokes.bmp");
    control.PictureMargin = 34;
    control.MarginTop = 3;
    control.MarginBottom = 3;
    control.MarginLeft = 3;
    control.MarginRight = 3;
    control.PictureOrientation = FarPoint.Win.PictureOrientation.PictureRotate180;
    control.AlignText = FarPoint.Win.TextAlign.TextLeftPictRight;
    control.AlignHorz = FarPoint.Win.HorizontalAlignment.Left;
    control.BackColor = Color.Red;
    control.Text = "NO SMOKING";
    private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
    // Turn off the No Smoking sign
    control.Visible = true;
    control.Enabled = false;
    control.Selectable = false;
    control.CanFocus = false;
    }
    
    control.Picture = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "\smokes.bmp")
    control.PictureMargin = 34
    control.MarginTop = 3
    control.MarginBottom = 3
    control.MarginLeft = 3
    control.MarginRight = 3
    control.PictureOrientation = FarPoint.Win.PictureOrientation.PictureRotate180
    control.MarginTop = 3
    control.MarginBottom = 3
    control.AlignText = FarPoint.Win.TextAlign.TextLeftPictRight
    control.AlignHorz = FarPoint.Win.HorizontalAlignment.Left
    control.BackColor = Color.Red
    control.Text = "NO SMOKING"
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
    'Turn off the No Smoking sign
    control.Visible = True
    control.Enabled = False
    control.Selectable = False
    control.CanFocus = False
    End Sub
