Sure; you use WinEnableWindow.  Generally with WinWindowFromId to get the
handle for the control. 
  
Something like:
   WinEnableWindow(WinWindowFromId(hwnd, IDD_xxx), FALSE);
 
where hwnd is the dialog box handle, IDD_xxx is the ID for the control,
and the last parameter is FALSE to disable and TRUE to enable.
 
(You can also do it by sending a mesage to the control, which is what
the above does indirectly.)
