Description

Entry_State determines if data can be entered into the control.

When set to True, data can be entered into the control.

When set to False, data cannot not be entered into the control. However, when False, the cursor can still be placed inside the control and allow data to be copied.

In many cases, the Enabled_State of a data entry object (DEO) is controlled by the controls' Server DataDictionary Object (DDO) via the DDO's DD_NoPut Field_Option.

Set Entry_State to False



Enabled_State controls whether the control is shadowed or not and whether the cursor can be placed inside the control.
