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.
