  BOOL EnableWindow( BOOL bEnable = TRUE );
 
  Parameter   Description
 
  <bEnable>   Specifies whether the given window is to be enabled or
              disabled. If this parameter is TRUE, the CWnd will be
              enabled. If this parameter is FALSE, the CWnd will be
              disabled.
 
  Remarks
 
  Enables or disables mouse and keyboard input. When input is disabled,
  input such as mouse clicks and keystrokes is ignored. When input is
  enabled, the window processes all input.
 
  If the enabled state is changing, the ◄WM_ENABLE► message is sent before
  this function returns.
 
  If disabled, all child windows are implicitly disabled, although they
  are not sent ◄WM_ENABLE► messages.
 
  CWnd must be enabled before it can be activated. For example, if an
  application is displaying a modeless dialog box and has disabled its
  main window, the main window must be enabled before the dialog box is
  destroyed. Otherwise, another window will get the input focus and be
  activated. If a child window is disabled, it is ignored when Windows
  tries to determine which window should get mouse messages.
 
  Initially, all windows are enabled by default. EnableWindow must be used
  to disable CWnd explicitly.
 
  Return Value
 
  Indicates the state before the EnableWindow member function was called.
  The return value is TRUE if CWnd was previously enabled. The return
  value is FALSE if CWnd was previously disabled or an error occurred.
