Okay, I'm back. I'd probably add another field that contains a flag whether or not the item is disabled. Set columnCount so it will not show this field in the listbox.

For example, using addListItem() to add items (in init() method):

this.addListItem("One", 1, 1)
this.addListItem("Y", 1, 2)
this.addListItem("\two", 2, 1)
this.addListitem("N", 2, 2)
this.addListItem("three", 3, 1)
this.addListItem("Y", 3, 2)

Then, .listitem(2, 2) will contain "N", showing it is disabled...

Interesting thing about disabled items in listboxes...dblclick() does not fire if you double click item with the mouse, but if you arrow to the disabled item and hit enter, dblclick() *does* fire...so they don't really work like I'd expect. (I'm using VFP6 SP5). Adding a flag like above gives something to check against.
