	You can't grey the pane out, but to disable the pane you can use the Action event. (I haven't tested this, so it might not work, I am not at computer with codejock now). In the Action event, try something like: If Pane.Id = ID_OF_PANE_TO_DISABLE then Cancel = TRUE ....Then disable the form that is attached to the pane. Else ...... End If IfI am correct, this should disable all pane actions. And disableing the form will make all controls inactive. If that don't work, place the controls on the form in a picturebox, this way you can disable the picturebox along with all the controls within it.
