Hi. I'm trying to make my swt table unselectable - mouse clicks should be
ignored - no highlighting. I've tried a lot of different things but
haven't gotten anywhere.

Thanks!

I tried that, but unfortunately the table then gets the "greyed-out"
appearance of a disabled control.

You can set a background color on a disabled control. If you want white
background to make it look like an enabled table, just do

table.setEnabled(false);
table.setBackground(display.getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_WHITE)) ;

where "display" is your Display object.
