Inactive States
Inactive states are states that appear on the control list but cannot be
selected by an operator. The cursor appears as a hollow head cursor
when moved to an inactive state. An operator cannot highlight or
select an inactive item. Inactive states are included as part of the
data sent with a block write of the displayed list items (see above).
