Link Label Disabling

[ChrisM]

Hi,

Dumb question, but can someone explain to me how the LinkLabel
'DisabledLinkColor' property works...?

I have a LinkLabel on my form that allows the user to jump to another form,
however under certain circumstances I don't want them to be able to do this
do I disable the link

myLink.Enabled = false;

But, when I do this, I want the disabled link to be Black, not grey (so that
it looks like a normal label) so I also say:

myLink.DisabledLinkColor = Color.Black;

Seems straight forward, but the link is ALWAYS grey

Anyone tell me what I'm a-doin' wrong...?

Cheers,

Chris.

Try setting the Enabled property of the actual Link that you'd like to
disable instead of the entire LinkLabel control.

Doh!

Thanks Tim. Serves me right for not reading the documentation properly I
guess... ;-)
