Two built-in functions are provided to inquire about the status of an item.

•You can use the is enabled built-in function to inquire if an item is enabled (selectable).

•You can use the is checked built-in function to inquire if a choice is checked.

The entire statement must be enclosed in parentheses.

The value returned is the boolean (true or false) associated with the enabled or checked state of the specified object. If the object is enabled or checked, the value true is returned; if it is disabled or unchecked, the value false is returned.

You can use the text of item built-in function to get the text associated with an item. An ESL string containing the current text of the item is returned.
