- Several people responded (by email) to my request by telling me how to make an
- XView item INACTIVE. I guess I wasn't specific enough in my post. I know how
- to make an XView item inactive. What I DON'T know how to do is make it LOOK
- inactive but still respond to [mouse button] events! I need the item to remain
- sensitive to these so that the user can "turn it back on" after he's "turned it
- off". This will give me a tristate checkbox that can be set to one of YES, NO,
- or DON'T CARE.
