Control..::.EnabledChanged Event

Occurs when the Enabled property value has changed.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Syntax
Public Event EnabledChanged As EventHandler
public event EventHandler EnabledChanged
public:
 event EventHandler^ EnabledChanged {
	void add (EventHandler^ value);
	void remove (EventHandler^ value);
}
member EnabledChanged : IEvent<EventHandler,
    EventArgs>
Remarks

This event is raised if the Enabled property is changed by either a programmatic modification or user interaction.

For more information about handling events, see Consuming Events.

Examples

The following code example uses two RadioButton controls to demonstrate the EnabledChanged event. Clicking one button changes the value of the Enabled property of the other button to false and displays a MessageBox.
