 Usage Notes
   ■ This property allows you to enable or disable forms and controls at run
     time. For example, you might disable a control used purely for display
     purposes, such as a text box that provides read-only information.
 
   ■ If Enabled is set to False (0):
     • The control and any of its children are grayed and removed from the
       tab order
     • Child controls cannot receive or respond to events. Note: The only
       controls that can have children are forms, frames, and picture boxes.
     See: Parent and Child Relationships  Tab Order Definition
 
   ■ Disabling a timer control by setting Enabled to False (0) suspends the
     countdown set up by the control's Interval property. Enabling the timer
     (setting Enabled to True (-1)) starts the countdown from the value
     of the object's Interval property, not the value at the point at which
     it was suspended. See: Interval Property  Timer Control
