Hi everyone, Thanks for the pointers. It seems that Darrik's suggestion of using ListViews may do what I need. I was able to get the lists setup the way I want. I would now like to disable certain items in the list. I am able to use ItemCheck to set the checked state of the checkbox as needed. I now need to be able to disable certain items in the list. I can't seem to find out how to do this. All variations of -disabled => 1 don't work. I can disable the entire list ... which is okay but once the list is disabled, users can't scroll. Due to space on the window, I can't display the whole list.
So my question ... is there a way to disable the list (either entirely or by item) and still keep it scrollable? Do I have to setup a routine to check the state of the checkbox and always keep it checked?
