Change a textbox colour when disabled C#

Question

i am going to ask the same thing like other topic which I have seen.

When i use the Textbox.Enable or Textbox.readOnly, the textbox gets a dark colour, how can i change this colour for a better colour? (white could be better).

Answer 1

When a TextBox is disabled, it ignores the ForeColor. You can override this by implementing your custom painting.

From the source Thread:-

You can override the OnPaint event like something like this:-

protected override void OnPaint(PaintEventArgs e)
{
     SolidBrush drawBrush = new SolidBrush(ForeColor);
     // Draw string to screen.
     e.Graphics.DrawString(Text, Font, drawBrush, 0f,0f); 
}
set the ControlStyles to "UserPaint"

public MyTextBox()//constructor
{
     // This call is required by the Windows.Forms Form Designer.
     this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.UserPaint,true);

     InitializeComponent();

     // TODO: Add any initialization after the InitForm call
}
