I want to use a listbox control for display only. So, I want to disable the control to show a list without any functionality of selection.
When I set the control as follows...
FormNameListboxName.Disabled = true
...the text is grey. I want it to remain black.
How do I do this?

Hey still flying?
Can't be done, at least not without extensive stylesheet hacking.
My advise, one I use all the time, display as a Label.
Put the listbox on a Panel, put the label on another panel same line stick
them next to each other.
Set both panels visibility to Dynamic,
Before show decide which one you want and set visible true.

Yes, still flying - and, I should be doing that and not programming!
I'm not quite understanding your suggestion. What I'm trying to accomplish is, in the middle of a record form, I want to display a list from a different table that's related to the record at hand. In other words I want to display a list of items and do not understand how to use a label control to display a list or array. I only see how to do this with the listbox control, but I don't like the grey.
Thanks!

What I really want is a grid in the middle of my record form!

Ok so I misunderstood your objective.
What I meant was I have a Form on the form is a listbox from which users can
pick values.
When the form is in non-edit mode I want the Listbox to be display only and
it will grey out.
To have a clean display, in non edit mode I hide the panel on which the
listbox is and unhide the label or texbox containing panel.
Therefore I am showing the value in black but selection is no longer
possible (it isn't possible but it will scroll and that's confusing to the
user.
You want the Listbox in display mode, to do what ?

Nice task, tell me how when you did it, haha
A grid in your form, put it in an Iframe?
OR
put in a Textarea, size it to you liking and maximum size, then in the
before show
Select the values from the other table separating them with a <br>
resulting in a list in a textarea with scroll bars? you could even built a
table around them and produce alternate row coloring.
Just some idea's, flying instruments only.

Almost there. How do I set the TextArea control for content of HTML so it recognizes the line breaks? THANKS!

Solved! Thanks Dekemp.
Here's what I ended up with:
'TextArea DBANames Event BeforeShow. Action Custom Code @282-73254650
' -------------------------
If Request.QueryString("ID") <> "" then
Dim Sel As SqlCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT DBA FROM DBA WHERE EID =" & Request.QueryString("ID"), _
Settings.IDPCessnaDataAccessObject)
Dim DBANameCol As DataRowCollection = Sel.Execute().Tables(0).Rows
For i = 0 To DBANameCol.Count - 1
Entities1DBANames.Text = Entities1DBANames.Text + DBANameCol(i)(0)
If i < DBANameCol.Count - 1 then Entities1DBANames.Text = Entities1DBANames.Text + vbCrLf
Next i
End If
' -------------------------
'End TextArea DBANames Event BeforeShow. Action Custom Code
Now, I just need to figure out how to make the font in the text area match the textboxes....

Use the style on the textbox to set it to whatever you want.

Right. I am using a textarea, and did not have success affecting the text area with the style property. Either it's not that simple, or I'm missing something simple.

In Html just after <title></title> before </head>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
..wislonstextarea
{
color: black;
scrollbar-arrow-color: #FFFF00;
scrollbar-face-color: #FF0000;
scrollbar-highlight-color: #0000FF;
scrollbar-3dlight-color: #008000;
scrollbar-shadow-color: #00FFFF;
scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #008080;
scrollbar-track-color: #FFA500;
}
-->
</style>
then find your textarea declaration in HTML
<textarea class="wilsonstextarea" cols="20" rows="8">
</textarea>
Apart from that if you set the textarea as disabled it will grey out, if you
set it to readonly it will stay black and the content cannot be changed.
Just pointing your compass.
ADJUST as needed

my pleasure, but not a lesson in the patronizing way, by no means.
