I have a stack which is used to show information in a display only mode,

use checkboxes in some cases.  How can I prevent the user clicking the
check box and changing its state?

I've currently got them disabled to achieve this but I'd prefer them to
have their enabled appearance, just not allow them to be changed.  I've
considered making images of the checkbox in its checked and unchecked
state, disabling the checkbox and assigning the appropriate image as its
disabled icon depending on the checkbox's state but wondering if there's a
more straightforward way to do this.

I'd have to echo Ken here (sounds positively self-serving, eh Ken?)

Anyway, instead of playing with the response of the item, I'd have put a nearly-transparent widget over the top of the items (with just enough of a sheen so that it's obvious there *is* something on top), and then a panel explaining that no input is allowed.
