IN addition to what Michael suggested, you can also have listbox enabled and conditionally "return .f." in the "When" method.

When I disable a list box, I cannot identify the selected item. I've tried changing the disabledforecolor and disableditemforecolor with no success. All of the items in the list look the same (dark grey on white background). I also tried returning .f. in the when event instead of setting the listbox.enabled = .f., but that didn't totally work either. I was still able to access the control's events if I click and hold the mouse down over the list. What is the best way to disable a list so you can still see the selected item?
