Selectable Property (ElementControl)

Gets or sets whether the user can interact with the control.

Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overridable Property Selectable As Boolean

'Usage
 
Dim instance As ElementControl
Dim value As Boolean
 
instance.Selectable = value
 
value = instance.Selectable

public virtual bool Selectable {get; set;}

Property Value

Boolean value: true if user can select items; false otherwise

Remarks

Set the Selectable property to specify whether users can interact with the control. For example, whether they can push a button or select an item.

This property is available at run time only.

Contrast this property with the CanFocus property and the Enabled property. Use the CanFocus property to specify whether a control can receive the focus. Use the Enabled property to specify whether the control looks grayed and users can interact with it.

Example

control.Picture = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + "\\smokes.bmp");
control.PictureMargin = 34;
control.MarginTop = 3;
control.MarginBottom = 3;
control.MarginLeft = 3;
control.MarginRight = 3;
control.PictureOrientation = FarPoint.Win.PictureOrientation.PictureRotate180;
control.AlignText = FarPoint.Win.TextAlign.TextLeftPictRight;
control.AlignHorz = FarPoint.Win.HorizontalAlignment.Left;
control.BackColor = Color.Red;
control.Text = "NO SMOKING";
private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
// Turn off the No Smoking sign
control.Visible = true;
control.Enabled = false;
control.Selectable = false;
control.CanFocus = false;
}

Visual Basic

control.Picture = Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath & "\smokes.bmp")
control.PictureMargin = 34
control.MarginTop = 3
control.MarginBottom = 3
control.MarginLeft = 3
control.MarginRight = 3
control.PictureOrientation = FarPoint.Win.PictureOrientation.PictureRotate180
control.MarginTop = 3
control.MarginBottom = 3
control.AlignText = FarPoint.Win.TextAlign.TextLeftPictRight
control.AlignHorz = FarPoint.Win.HorizontalAlignment.Left
control.BackColor = Color.Red
control.Text = "NO SMOKING"
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
'Turn off the No Smoking sign
control.Visible = True
control.Enabled = False
control.Selectable = False
control.CanFocus = False
End Sub
