I'm using VFP 6.0 SP3. When I return .f. in the when and click on the list box, the interactivechange event does not fire. If I click and hold and scroll down the list it changes the selected item in the list and the event fires. Seems like maybe one of the mouse events needs to return .f. too.

>>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?
