# isEnabled

A Boolean value that indicates whether the menu item is enabled.

## Declaration

```swift
var isEnabled: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

If a menu item is disabled, its keyboard equivalent is also disabled. See the NSMenuValidation informal protocol specification for cautions regarding this method.
