What text property setting controls the "look" of the text in label attached to disabled textbox?

[MLH]

You know how the text in the attached label
sort of 'greys out' when you click something
that sets MyTextbox.Enabl ed = False?

I would like to make a label's text look like
that? How do I do it? It look sort-a-like sunken
text or shadowed - I don't know what.

Simply set YourTextbox.ena bled = False
Although I am sure this will do the 'trick', I am not sure this is what you want ;-)

But please set SubjectLine.Lon g = False
I am sure this will help me to read and answer your questions ...

if you do that, you may risk confusing your users. Greyed-out text is
meant to be (temporarily, not permanently) inactive.

I can't seem to reproduce the look anyway. Labels cannot be active, and
hence have no greyed-out setting. Labels to textboxes of course do, but
the look is controlled from the textbox in those cases.

Yes, I know. I have 2 labels on each side of a textbox that are BOTH
related to the t'box. Since I cannot attach both of them to the t'box
control, I have to do something about 'graying' out the 2nd label when
the textbox goes disabled./

Use one larger label.

Ar, I see that.
Tried this at home:
* cutting and pasteing the label onto the control (no, of course you've
done that)
* setting the Parent property from code (no, 438)

Well, then, I thought, if Mozes is too busy with the mountain, let's
have another mountain. What if you tack the second label onto a second
*textbox* which you then set to have no tabstop, width=0, transparent
border etc. all but hiding it. You can enable/disable it together with
the main control, and it will then disable its label.
