Property Value
Boolean value: true if element is enabled; false otherwiseRemarks
Use this property to specify whether the element looks grayed and users can interact with it.
If this property is true, you can still specify that the element cannot receive focus by setting the CanFocus property to false.
If the CanFocus property is set to true, you can check whether the element has the focus, or move the focus to the element, by calling the Focus method. You can specify whether and how the focus rectangle is drawn for the element by setting the DrawFocusRectangle property.
Contrast this property with the Selectable property and the CanFocus property. Use the Selectable property to specify whether users can interact with the element. Use the CanFocus property to specify whether an element can receive the focus.
