Windows are widgets just like everything else is, and so can be configured to be in the DISABLED state just like a button can. I'm not used to this hierarchy in which the root window presides over all, yet is still a widget just like everything else. But there's a lot of GUI programming that I haven't wrapped my head around yet (which is why I'm running with this pet project -- but it's bound to be ugly :)). Thanks! Jason
