### Description

Gets or set a value indicating whether the form field is enabled. This property has only an effect, when the when the [TextControl.EditMode](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/editmode-property/llms-full.txt) is set to `ReadAndSelect` and the [DocumentPermissions.AllowEditingFormFields](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol/documentpermissions/alloweditingformfields-property/llms-full.txt) property has been set to true. In this case a Formfield can only be edited, when its Enabled property is true. When a FormField is disabled, the [TextFieldClicked](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/textfieldclicked-event/llms-full.txt) and [TextFieldDoubleClicked](https://docs.textcontrol.com/tx-text-control-dotnet-wpf/reference/txtextcontrol-wpf/textcontrol/textfielddoubleclicked-event/llms-full.txt) of the Formfield are suppressed. The default value of this property is true.

CheckFormField field = new(false) { Name = "AcceptTerms" };
textControl.FormFields.Add(field);
FormField formField = textControl.FormFields.GetItem();

formField.Enabled = true;
if (formField.Enabled)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Form Field: Enabled is enabled.");
}
```

```vbnet
Dim field As New CheckFormField(False) With { .Name = "AcceptTerms" }
textControl.FormFields.Add(field)
Dim formField As FormField = textControl.FormFields.GetItem()
