Brian, Could you define "disable an item" for us? Do you mean setting a state where-in the item will not trigger events to occur? Or do you need the single item to somehow be 'non-functional' in some other means? One of my cohorts in my office recently worked out a *cleaner* way to color listview items (fg+bg) via a module, but thats not *exactly* ready for production yet. If you jsut need to keep track of which control is 'working' and 'not working' then consider using the $widget->UserData() method. Jason P.

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?

For a standard ActiveState Perl install you should find it at C:\Perl\site\lib\Win32\GUI\demos (you'll need to adjust the path for your perl installation). MDI.pl might be a good place to start.
