Why enableevents is classed as a property and not a method

[Jigneshbharati]

Good morning,

I am new to VBA. Application.EnableEvents=True or False
Why do we consider "EnableEvents" a property and not an action(method)? I googled it but didn't understand the concept. I would really appreciate a simple example to help me understand the concept.
Thank you in advance.

Application.EnableEvents isn't an action, its the answer to a question (it is a boolean value).

It doesn't do anything, it answers the question "are events enabled". Its a property not a method.

Contrast that with Range.Sort method, which doesn't answer any question (it won't tell you if the range is sorted), but will perform an action, sort according to the arguments passed.
