Why are some items greyed out in Spy++'s Windows view?

Viewed 1368

To modify a window of another program, I need to find a specific SysTreeView32 in it using EnumChildWindows API call.

When I inspect the window using Spy++, there are a number of SysTreeView32's in it but all are greyed out except one, which is the one I'm looking for.

The following picture is an example of grey items:

Why are the shown items gray and what API call does Spy++ use to know whether it should grey out an item or not?
