speaking about listboxes

[mortgageman]

After the following line of code is executed, my listbox doesn't "grey out". It is locked for sure - I can't change what is selected - but shouldn't it grey out?

ListBoxLevel.Enabled = False

Hello again Gene,
No, your code will disable the listbox, but it doesn't change its appearance.

What you want to focus on is the BackColor property.
For example this will disable it and change the color to the same as your scrollbars...

ListBoxLevel.BackColor = &H80000000
ListBoxLevel.Enabled = False

And then you'll have to change it back at some point to being white (or whatever color your window background is) by using something like this.

ListBoxLevel.BackColor = &H80000005
ListBoxLevel.Enabled = False

You can check out the BackColor property to see what colors are available and get the code "numbers" for each color from there. (Make sure to look at the pallette colors too...)
