Summary: I can disable them, but I can't inactivate them.


I want some statText and editText items disabled (so that DialogSelect
doesn't return true) and inactivated (so that the text is dimmed, the
editText cannot be edited, and mouse clicks in the item are interpreted the
same as mouse clicks in the blank part of the dialog box) in a modeless dialog
box.

I have been able to get the items disabled using ResEdit, but I have not
been able to inactivate them.  I have been using HiliteControl to inactivate
chkCtrl and radCtrl items.  Is there an equivalent procedure for statText
and editText items?
