I don't think you have another way to choose. You can't disable the tabs as the items of ListBox can't be disabled. _________________ ToringoCrypto Plugin - RSA (128 to 1024), DES/3DES/TDEA, etc. ToringoDRMInfo Plugin - Uniquely identify computers via hardware information. ãMy Company: Are you looking for someone to help you work on your projects?ã ãMy Blogã Top ajoffe Post subject: Posted: Fri Oct 14, 2005 7:13 pm Joined: Fri Sep 30, 2005 11:52 am Posts: 202 Location: Colorado If you're willing to try a more customized solution, you might want to check out Alex Restrepo's Custom TabPanel (available here: http://homepage.mac.com/alexrestrepo/indexmain.html, scroll down). I just tested out the demo app that comes with it, and you can enable/disable tabs pretty niceley.

I have to build one for my self to allow for draggable tabs. Just a thought. Wayne C. Winquist _________________ Wayne C. Winquist Not Wayne's World Wordpress Not Wayne's World MySpace!
