Enabled = false text box too hard to read

Rob
When you set the enabled property of a text box to False... it is shaded so
much that it is hard to read... any suggestions.

Hmmm maybe change backcolor?? I think that it is the best way.

Maybe setting the control's 'ReadOnly' property to 'True' instead of
disabling the control is sufficient.

Hi: It used to be that when you wanted to prevent a user from accessing information in a text or combo box, you would set the properties: TextBox.Enabled=False TextBox.Locked=True This would display the information and retain the box's standard format. Well now in my Access 2003 system, I am getting non-legacy

I have a timer on a form. It isn't firing at all. I know that the timer is enabled, and that the interval is low (4000, which should be 4 seconds). To ensure the timer wasn't being inadvertantly reset I put some extra code in the subs that enable and disable the timer. They fire as expected. To test this I added a second timer with a 1 second interval. The event for this time would output the enabled status of the first timer and its...

If I have a combobox set enabled=false then by default it will have dark grey text on a grey background. I want it to show as blue on white. I'm trying code such as : combobox.enabled=false combobox.backcolor=color.white combobox.forecolor=color.blue This sets it to dark grey text on a white background.

Is there a way to disable a web form control (change the Enabled property to false) without the control being dimmed out when it's rendered? I have quite a few of them on the form and they are hard to read when they are disabled . Thanks, Bill Cincinnati, OH USA

Hi, I have a usercontrol which contains multiple server controls like textbox, radiobutton..., I have a public field in the usercontrol "Enabled". What i want to do is when the usercontrol's "Enabled" is set to false, set all its child controls "Enabled" to false. I know i can set them one by one. But there should be a easy way to do it like : for(int i=0;i<myUserControl.Controls.Count;i++)

Hello, I have a Form that contains some configuration information. One of the settings is for SSL. There is a checkbox that I want to check to make 2 textboxes un-editable so that a user can type information into the textboxes. If the SSL checkbox is unchecked the 2 textboxes should become readonly again. I have my event handler properly setup to listen for the CheckStateChanged event. My debug print statement prints out information

I would like to show dark fonts (so that the text is readable and not greyed out) in a text box, however, I do Not want the text box to be Enabled, because I do not want the text box to ever have the focus. Can this be accomplished ? It is looking like this cannot be done. Thanks

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
