What's the problem with making selections? You don't have to *do* anything
when a selection is made. 

Anyhow, there is no real easy way to do this.  You might have to catch
selection events then deselect the item manually.

Alternatively, you could use an owner-drawn listview, but that is **LOTS**
of work. 

Have you tried make a listview without a scroll bar, and do your own
scrollbar next to it. That way you could disable the listview, change
the background back to its normal color, and still manage the scrolling.
This would still be a lot of work.

So I don't really know if its worth the effort.

CK,

There is another option...you can use Phil Russel's EuGrid to accomplish 
the task. It involves creating a Grid with static controls, disabling row
selection and disabling cell border highlighting.  It looks kinda like a 
list view and the user can't select a row.  Here's a small example that I
"whipped" up, hope it helps (note that I created the whole thing with the
IDE).

Double arrggghhhh!!!!!!

I just looked at the post on EuForm and there were a few more lines that
got truncated.  This one should do it :)

Rob, is there any way to fix this problem?

Can you explain what it means to subclass a control? Thanks!!! :)

Sure thing.

Lets say you create a plain window and have a message loop for it.
In most cases (with Win32Lib) it has a message loop and it doles out
messages to your routines depending on which ones you need.

Subclassing involves taking over of the normal message loop and replacing
it with one of your own.  I could (in effect) have Windows send my routine
*all* messages meant for the window before Win32Lib (or anything else)
can see it and do my own processing first.  In the case of the ListView,
we could subclass the control and handle all mouse events ourselves.  Any
message we dont process I can pass to its normal handler (Win32Lib).  Its
simply a way to customize a controls behaviour with our own routine.

Cool =) thanks Derek...
