enableObject

Procedure that enables an object. Includes all components except RowObject fields. They are enabled using EnableFields().

Location: visual.p

Parameters: None

Notes:

enableObject is invoked from initializeObject to enable a SmartObject (different from when a SmartObject’s RowObject fields are enabled with enableFields).
You can customize enableObject when a SmartObject is enabled, perhaps for initialization that is needed each time a SmartObject is enabled, or to enable other related SmartObjects.
enableObject and disableObject are not completely opposite in their effects. disableObject always invokes disableFields because it is not meaningful to have a SmartObject disabled while RowObject fields inside it are enabled. On the other hand, enableObject does not invoke enableFields; this is done separately to allow enabling of a SmartObject’s RowObject fields independently of other basic widgets it contains.
