How do you disable an item in listview control in .net 3.5

Question

In .net 3.5 windows forms I have a listview with \"CheckBoxes\" = true. Is it possible to dim out or disable some items to prevent the user from checking the box?

Answer 1

I took Hans Passant recommendation - good visual approach which in my case denotes un-actionable items. Here's a sample:

    'Select all attachements in case user wants to mask or pick and choose
    For i As Integer = 0 To lstView.Items.Count - 1
        If Not Scan.SupportedMasking.Contains(Path.GetExtension(lstView.Items(i).Text)) Then
            lstView.Items(i).ForeColor = SystemColors.GrayText
            lstView.Items(i).Text += " (No masking supported)"
            lstView.Items(i).BackColor = SystemColors.InactiveBorder
            lstView.Items(i).Selected = False
        Else
            lstView.Items(i).Selected = True
        End If
    Next i
