How to change the color of textbox after set enable to false?

Hi,

I am using VB.Net 2005, after I set my textbox enable to false, how can I change the background color and font color of the textbox? If I just change the font color property of the textbox, it doesn't seem work.

Thanks a lot.

why not "replace" the textbox (or combo, datetimepicker etc.) field with labels if you want to disable them. Labels are not editable. Label colors can be adapted. Just place a label over the control you want to disable and hide the control. For enabling hide the label and show the control.

Try using the ReadOnly property. You still get a gray background but at least the text is still readable.
