Possible values are:
0 = Unknown
1 = Other
2 = Enabled Indicates that the element is or could be executing commands, will

RequestedState
An integer enumeration that indicates the last requested or desired state for the element,
irrespective of the mechanism through which it was requested. The actual state of the
element is represented by EnabledState. This property is provided to compare the last
requested and current enabled or disabled states. Note that when EnabledState is set to 5
(Not Applicable), then this property has no meaning. See the EnabledState property
description for explanations of the values in the RequestedState enumeration. Unknown (0)
indicates the last requested state for the element is unknown.
NOTE: The value No Change (5) has been deprecated instead of indicating the last
requested state is Unknown (0). If the last requested or desired state is unknown,
RequestedState should have the value Unknown (0), but may have the value No
