PRB: List Box Contents Does Not Appear Dimmed When Disabled
'Article ID: Q90117

Creation Date: 08-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

The contents of a disabled list box does not appear dimmed (grayed) as it would in other disabled controls.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access for Windows 95 version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 Open the sample database NWIND.MDB. Create a new form. Add a list box control to the form and set its RowSource property to Customers. Set the Enabled property to No.  View the form in Form view. Note that the list box's label appears dimmed, but the contents of the list box does not appear dimmed, as you would expect. The behavior, however, is only visual; the list box control is truly disabled and you cannot alter its contents.
