# Enable/Disable Control

You can enable or disable a component to control whether it responds to user interactions. When a component is enabled, it can respond to the following events:

- [Click event](ts-universal-events-click.md)
- [Touch event](ts-universal-events-touch.md)
- [Drag and drop event](ts-universal-events-drag-drop.md)
- [Key event](ts-universal-events-key.md)
- [Focus event](ts-universal-focus-event.md)
- [Mouse event](ts-universal-mouse-key.md)
- [Axis event](ts-universal-events-axis.md)
- [Hover event](ts-universal-events-hover.md)
- [Accessibility hover event](ts-universal-accessibility-hover-event.md)
- [Gesture event](ts-gesture-settings.md)
- [Focus axis event](ts-universal-events-focus_axis.md)
- [Crown event](ts-universal-events-crown.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.

      // The component does not respond to clicks.
