Just getting started on Tk (via wish, from Common Lisp). Aside: Tk looks
like a great solution for portable GUIs. Anyway, I have a Listbox widget
working quite nicely, including becoming disabled when semantics make it
irrelevant. The listbox elements are all dimmed and clicking on them
does not select them, but...

I do get <<ListboxSelect>> events for the binding I established for
that. It will be easy to either dynamically drop/re-establish the
binding, or as an alternative simply note on my side that the widget is
disabled -- well, I do not even have to do that since no matter where I
click it correctly returns the selection info as it stood when last enabled.

I am just wondering as a newbie if I am missing something, since I would
not expect select events from a disabled control.
