Use AutoEnable to automatically enable or disable the control buttons on the media player. If AutoEnable is true, the media player automatically enables or disables its control buttons. The media player determines which buttons to enable or disable by the current mode specified in the Mode property, and the current multimedia device type specified in the DeviceType property. 

AutoEnable overrides the EnabledButtons property. The buttons enabled or disabled automatically by the media player supersede any buttons enabled or disabled with EnabledButtons. 

If AutoEnable is false, the media player does not enable or disable buttons. The buttons must enabled or disabled with the EnabledButtons property. 

The following table shows whether buttons are automatically enabled or disabled for each device mode:
