# Enable/Disable

The **enabled** attribute sets whether a component responds to user interactions, such as [click events](ts-universal-events-click.md), [touch events](ts-universal-events-touch.md), [drag events](ts-universal-events-drag-drop.md), [key events](ts-universal-events-key.md), [focus events](ts-universal-focus-event.md), and [mouse events](ts-universal-mouse-key.md).

>  **NOTE**
>
>  The APIs of this module are supported since API version 7. Updates will be marked with a superscript to indicate their earliest API version.
>
>  The **enabled** attribute takes effect only when the component is pressed. It does not work when the component is interacting with the user.
