Setting the item property enabled to false will set the item navigate property to false, when the item enabled property is set to true, it does not enable the navigate property to true. You have to set the item navigable property to true by using set_item_property. For more information on what property gets disabled and what gets enabled, look in the forms help under set_item_property - propagation of property changes.
