TShape.Enabled Property

Controls whether the control responds to mouse, keyboard, and timer events.

Pascal

property Enabled: Boolean;

C++

__property Boolean Enabled;

Description

Use Enabled to change the availability of the control to the user. To disable a control, set Enabled to False. Some disabled controls appear dimmed (for example: buttons, check boxes, labels), while others (container controls) simply lose their functionality without changing their appearance. If Enabled is set to False, the control ignores mouse, keyboard, and timer events.

To re-enable a control, set Enabled to True.

Note: This property applies to all TControl descendants.
