# IsBufferEnabled<T>(Entity)

> Checks whether the IBufferElementData of type T is enabled on the specified Entity. For the purposes of EntityQuery matching, an entity with a disabled component will behave as if it does not have that component. The type T must implement the IEnableableComponent interface.
