Making an item in an implicit list disabled

[jaazz]

Hello,
im using an Implicit list and I want to make one of the items disabled – or at least look disabled.
How can I do it? How can I change the color of the string to look disabled?

Thanks!

hi jaaz,

you have no much options, because implementation is (or was when LCD was gray looking squares) to provide contextual feedback (based on options like choice item, image) not on visual feedback or small color shade changes (which is nicely visible now in 256k mostly screens),
however try working/experimenting with Fonts:

	setFont(int elementNum, Font font)
          Sets the application's preferred font for rendering the specified element of this Choice.

that is basic method which is implemented in List as:

setFont

public void setFont(int elementNum,
                    Font font)

    Sets the application's preferred font for rendering the specified element of this Choice. An element's font is a hint, and the implementation may disregard the application's preferred font.

    The elementNum parameter must be within the range [0..size()-1], inclusive.

    The font parameter must be a valid Font object or null. If the font parameter is null, the implementation must use its default font to render the element.

    Specified by:
        setFont in interface Choice

    Parameters:
        elementNum - the index of the element, starting from zero
        font - the preferred font to use to render the element 
    Throws:
        IndexOutOfBoundsException - if elementNum is invalid
    Since:
        MIDP 2.0

hth,
