    You can override public void onSharedPreferenceChanged(final SharedPreferences sharedPreferences, final String key) and when it get called with key.equals(<Your key for setting>) do something like:

    boolean isEnabled = sharedPreferences.getBoolean(key, true);
getPreferenceScreen().findPreference("list box preference key").setEnabled(isEnabled);
getPreferenceScreen().findPreference("list box preference key").setEnabled(!isEnabled);

    Also, do the same in onCreate() to have Your preferences screen proper initial setup.
