Why SAP B1 set all form item property of "Enabled" to true automatically?

Question

When I set some items property of "Enabled" to false in a user define form in the form load event.
But now I click some editable item and type some thing in the edit text bar, I see all of uneditble item suddenly can be edit. It's not convenient, means we need to more coding work about this.

Hi Alan,
you may set the Form Property
oForm.AutoManaged =False
If it's True all item visible/enabled-propertys are dependent to form mode and they're always switching back to their defined state when the mode changes.
If you want to use the oForm.AutoManaged =True then you can define exactly the behavior of the items in each mode:
            Dim modeMaskFind As Integer
            Dim modeMaskOk As Integer
            Dim modeMaskAdd As Integer
            Dim colUid As String
            Dim oCbx As SAPbouiCOM.ComboBox
            oForm.AutoManaged = True
            oForm.SupportedModes = _
                     SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoFormMode.afm_Ok Or _
                     SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoFormMode.afm_Add Or _
                     SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoFormMode.afm_Find
            modeMaskFind = SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoFormMode.afm_Find
            modeMaskOk = SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoFormMode.afm_Ok
            modeMaskAdd = SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoFormMode.afm_Add
           With oForm.Items
                .Item("CBX_YEAR").SetAutoManagedAttribute( _
                       SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoManagedAttr.ama_Editable, modeMaskAdd, _
                       SAPbouiCOM.BoModeVisualBehavior.mvb_True _
                ) ' editable in AddMode
                 .Item("CBX_YEAR").SetAutoManagedAttribute( _
                         SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoManagedAttr.ama_Editable, modeMaskFind, _
                         SAPbouiCOM.BoModeVisualBehavior.mvb_False _
                 ) ' NOT editable in FindMode
                .Item("CBX_YEAR").SetAutoManagedAttribute( _
                       SAPbouiCOM.BoAutoManagedAttr.ama_Editable, modeMaskOk,  
                       SAPbouiCOM.BoModeVisualBehavior.mvb_True _
                 ) ' editable in OKMode
                .Item("CBX_YEAR").AffectsFormMode = True
            End With
Cheers,
