What is the object you want to grey out?  I will guess based on what
you said in your message that you have a form that contains a number
of widgets of various assortments and you'd like to grey out *all* of
them at the same time.

To do this, you should use the Xt function XtSetSensitive(widget, value)
where "widget" is a primitive or composite widget and "value" is
either True or False.  If the widget is a form, then the value is
propagated to all the widgets it manages.

Note: text widgets's text won't appear grey -- this may or may not
be a good thing :-)
