I am having a problem configuring a listbox widget such that the selection remains highlighted even while it is set (programmatically) to the DISABLED state. Below code shows the problem:
from Tkinter import *
master = Tk()
listbox = Listbox(master)
listbox.pack()
listbox.insert(END, "Text1")
listbox.insert(END, "Text2")
listbox.insert(END, "Text3")
listbox.selection_set(first=0, last=None)
listbox.configure(exportselection=False)
listbox.configure(state=DISABLED)
Now when I change state to NORMAL, selected item is being highlighted. Is there a way I could disable widget (i.e. No response on mouse clicks) but keep the selected object remain highlighted?
Intent: I want to utilise this widget on wizard App that I am creating. I would like this widget to indicate the current page / wizard number which the user selected. Is there any other widget I could use instead of it? (Labels possibly?)

What's wrong with a page number displayed on a label? Why must you insist on displaying every page number in a Listbox? That seems like a waste of resources to me. You could even say: "Showing page I of N".
