Color in textbox disabled

Question

HI. Does anyone know how to change the color of a textbox when it's disabled? And when Read Only? Thanks.

set the forecolor that you want from the design side, but it will not work until you set the back color explicitly too. so set the back color as well on form_Load() as private void YourForm_Load(...) { TextBox1.BackColor = TextBox1.BackColor; } Alternatively, you can use a Label instead of TextBox, as a readonly TextBox is nothing more than a Label.

I have some textboxes showing values in a form (I use C#). When the form loads the user can only see those values. So these textboxes have Enabled = false. If he wants to edit a textbox he must click on a specific button. Then the textboxes receive Enabled = true. My problem is that when disabled, the textboxes have a gray colour and it's difficult to read its contents. What I want is to make disabled textbox colour = enabled textbox colour. Can you help me? Thanks.

You can do using jquery, //Create css class in CSS file .input-disabled{background-color:#EBEBE4;border:1px solid #ABADB3;padding:2px 1px;} //In Jquery find text input and add that css class $( '#test' ).attr( 'readonly' , true ); $( '#test' ).addClass( 'input-disabled' );
