I'm looking for a way to "de-sensitize" an item in a List widget. I want the item to be greyed and unselectable. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Oh, by the way, we're running X11R4 with motif 1.0. Thanks in advance, Kathy ============================================================================== Kathy Saint || "She's a witch!!

We are facing the same problem and neither Motif 1.0 or 1.1 appear to handle this, even tho 1.1 has added a whole bunch of new XmList routines. I am considering building a routine to create a "greyed" font and then use some routines we are building to support various highlightings in a list as a mechanism to do this, altho we will not (to the best of my knowledge) be able to restrict selection of a "greyed font" item until after the user has clicked on it (then we can reject the selection). I would prefer real support for greyed items in a list where you are unable to even click on one of the greyed items... OSF, are you listening???
