When using the command OBJECT SET ENABLED(*;"objectname";False), false will disable user interaction for objects on a form. For example, if a scroll bar was added to a text variable object, users will not be able to scroll the text area.

The command OBJECT SET ENTERABLE(*;"objectname";False) allows interaction with the objects on the form. The false parameter prevents users from entering data to a text variable, and allows user interaction with the scroll bar.

Case of
: (Form event=On Load)

OBJECT SET Enterable(*;"objectname";False)

End case
