C#:How to change the color of a disabled Combobox control?
-
hi help me how to change the color of a readonly textbox and a Disabled combobox contrl to look like a normal one.
comboBox1.Enabled = false; comboBox1.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Yellow;senthil
First of all, why? The point behind making a control appear disabled is to stop the users from interacting with it. Anyways. You can't do it directly. It will always be gray. However, you can create your own control that inherits from the combobox and you can change that any way you please. Post back if you need more help or vote if this answers your question.

Wa Alaikum Al Salam This Walkthrough will cover how to create the inherited control. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5h0k2e6x(VS.80).aspx[^] Then, you'll have to handle the OnEnabledChanged event in your inherited control and take it from there. What you'll need is to either maintain the look and feel of the control or make it so that it is read only. [edit] Or read Davey's response, he gave you the whole she-bang!

This is a guess, but I think you can do it by overriding the OnPaint method.
