[form.][ctlname.]Enabled[ = boolean%]
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►
