Control.IsEnabled Property

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the user can interact with the control.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property IsEnabled As Boolean
public bool IsEnabled { get; set; }
<control IsEnabled="bool"/>

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the user can interact with the control; otherwise, false.

Remarks

Dependency property identifier field: IsEnabledProperty

When IsEnabled is false, a control cannot have focus or receive input events, such as MouseLeftButtonDown. A control inherits the IsEnabled property from its parent control. For example, if a control that contains a button has IsEnabled set to false, the button's IsEnabled property is also false.

A parent element of a disabled Control will be visible to hit testing. For example, if a Canvas contains a Button that has its IsEnabled property is false, when the user clicks the Button, the Button does not receive the Click event, but the Canvas receives the MouseLeftButtonDown event.
