Hi JD,
I don't hold out much hope for you on this one.
I have a utility that lists all the currently managed widgets in a
hierachial fashion, and using a very simple widget consisting of
only base, list widget and a stop button, my utility shows only
3 widget ids. Nothing at all to suggest that individual lines within
the value of the list widget can be "got at."
Neither does the v5.6 Help offer much.
I presume you want to de-sensitise an element that's already been
selected?
Andrew

Actually, Ben Tupper wrote something of a list editor a while back. Do
a google search for "twolist". It uses 2 lists to select and deselect,
although it just copies from one list to the other. I used his as a
basis for one I did which actually moves items from one list to the
other.
