Thanks for reply. You are right. But as i used in form (I am using VFP 3.0), I found a strange behaviour. My form works this way. There is one spinner, text1 & text2 and a list box list1. Now list1 is populated with an array in which some of the items are disabled with '/'. Initialy list1 is disabled. when text box2 gets focus list1 is enabled. When list1 gets enabled on gotfocus event of text2, it shows all the items enabled. Buand i can select the items which were disabled eith '/'. Now i found that if i scroll through list1 again those items got disabled. In short when text2 gets focus, to duisable items i have to scroll through listbox. I can't understand this strange behavor. Am i doing something wrong....?
