How to change the text colour of the textbox when readonly property is true???

Hi,

In my application i need the forecolor of a textbox whose readonly property is true, to be changed to dimgray.I couldnt change the text color of the textbox when the textbox is in readonly.

Is there any way of doing it.

Kindly help.Thanks in advance.

Hi kannan

Try this code

Me.TextBox1.ForeColor = Color.Red

Me.TextBox1.BackColor = Color.White

Hope it helps.

Hi Jin

I need the textbox backcolor as gray and forecolor as dimgray.I have set the enabled property and the readonly property of the textbox as true.As a result of it the text color has changed to dark gray(almost black).I need the text color as dimgray(just like how it will be when enabled property is set false)

Kindly give me a suggestion.

Gavin,

The code you mentioned is not working out. I think i have to go for a label.

Anyway thanks gavin and nobugz
