ListBox.Enabled Property (Outlook Forms Script)

  • Article

Returns or sets a Boolean that specifies whether a control can receive the focus and respond to user-generated events. Read/write.

Syntax

expression.Enabled

expression A variable that represents a ListBox object.

Remarks

True is the control can receive the focus and respond to user-generated events, and is accessible through code (default). False if the user cannot interact with the control by using the mouse, keystrokes, accelerators, or hotkeys. The control is generally still accessible through code.

Use the Enabled property to enable and disable controls. A disabled control appears dimmed, while an enabled control does not. Also, if a control displays a bitmap, the bitmap is dimmed whenever the control is dimmed.

The Enabled and Locked properties work together to achieve the following effects:

  • If Enabled and Locked are both True, the control can receive focus and appears normally (not dimmed) in the form. The user can copy, but not edit, data in the control.

  • If Enabled is True and Locked is False, the control can receive focus and appears normally in the form. The user can copy and edit data in the control.

  • If Enabled is False and Locked is True, the control cannot receive focus and is dimmed in the form. The user can neither copy nor edit data in the control.

  • If Enabled and Locked are both False, the control cannot receive focus and is dimmed in the form. The user can neither copy nor edit data in the control.

Clicking a disabled ListBox does not initiate the Click event.
