custom winform control.enable=false backcolor

Hi all,

lets say I tell a control to become disabled. Is there any way to changed the "washed-out" effect of the disabled control. I am thinking on the lines of a light Semi-Transparent Shade of black on the disabled control area.


how would I be able to achieve this affect on most controls, when disabled. When enabled, I would like to be able to restore the original colors.


Thanks in advance for your help.
