Nice - thanks.
For things like buttons and fields where appearances change based on the
value of the disabled property this may or may not work well depending
on the specifics of the context.
But those are among the rarer of this already-rarely-used property. A
more common use case would be as a background in a group, as Monte
described, and since the graying effect that comes with disabling can be
offset by brightening the colors and/or changing the ink, this could
work well enough.
So:
cantSelect = alwaysBrowse
cantSelect + disabled + some combinations of adjusted colors and inks =
cantSelect
