Is it possible to disable a control with Text (Textbox, combobox etc)
but not have the text fade?
I have a bunch of text boxes for a database, want them disabled till i
hit the edit key, not a problem, cept they are kind of hard to read
while disabled.
thanks!

You could put the controls on a container (say, a Frame) and disable the
Frame. However, unless you signal that the control is disabled, this
might be confusing to the user (how is he/she to know when they can use
the control and when they can't?).

true, but it is so hard to read when everything is dimmed like that.
btw, the frame idea does work! thank you.

Another way would be to use labels to show the content, and replace them
with textboxes at the appropiate time.

Unless the TextBoxes are multi-lined and have scroll bars.

I have found it useful to Lock the text boxes and change the background color,
instead of disabling them. This allows the user to for instance copy the text,
but still provides a visual cue that it is not editable. Try changing the
background to gray when it is locked, and to white when it is unlocked. Is it possible to disable a control with Text (Textbox, combobox etc)

How about putting another transparent control (ie, a transparent label or
something) over top the text box?
I think that works. Been a while..

I ended up useing the frame method... works beautifully! thanks!

Locking the text boxes and using a different color scheme is a good option
since it gives the user a visual cue. I think the other method of using a
frame is ok, but even still giving the user a cue when it's ok to edit
should be used. The user may thing the application has hung up and kill the
app or reboot the machine.
