Hi Jason, By disabled I mean literally the grayed out condition allowing the user to see (and scroll through) the list but preventing the user from checking/unchecking any checkboxes. If I set disabled => 1, in AddListView the control is definately disabled ... but it doesn't allow the user to scroll through the list.
