SfComboBox: cannot change DisabledForeColor

[Dennis Neuhaeuser]

Hi,

I need to change the colors of SfComboBox in disabled state.

change of DisabledBackColor works as expected.

but DisabledForeColor is not changing the color of the font. It stays in a greyish color.


example:

sfcombobox1.Enabled = False
sfcombobox1.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledBackColor = Color.White
sfcombobox1.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledForeColor = Color.Black

Regards
Dennis

Hi,

I am using VB.net instead of C#.

When using DropDownStyle = DropDownList I understand that one needs to use

ReadOnlyEditorStyle. EditorStyle is doing nothing with the colors in this case.

so this is working:

SfComboBox1.DropDownStyle = Syncfusion.WinForms.ListView.Enums.DropDownStyle.DropDownList
SfComboBox1.Enabled = False
SfComboBox1.Style.ReadOnlyEditorStyle.DisabledBackColor = Color.Blue
SfComboBox1.Style.ReadOnlyEditorStyle.DisabledForeColor = Color.White

But I rather want DropDownStyle = DropDown.

So this example is changing the Background but not the Foreground color:

SfComboBox1.DropDownStyle = Syncfusion.WinForms.ListView.Enums.DropDownStyle.DropDown
SfComboBox1.Enabled = False
SfComboBox1.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledBackColor = Color.Yellow
SfComboBox1.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledForeColor = Color.Red

Where is the mistake?

Regards

Dennis

if  on the form designer the ComboBoxMode property is set to  "SingleSelection" then the code

SfComboBox1.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledBackColor = Color.Yellow
SfComboBox1.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledForeColor = Color.Red

does not take any effect.

Now, if the ComboBoxMode  is set to multiselection then the color setting does apply. 

this is a very strange  behavior , I can characterized it as bug.

Hi NN,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 

We have checked your query and we understand that when the ComboBoxMode property is set to SingleSelection DisabledBackColor and DisabledForeColor are not working properly. But we can able to set the DisabledForeColor and its working fine from our end. Please refer to the screenshot for your reference.

Could you please provide the following details

• Could you please confirm whether you are using a framework or .NET Core? If so, please specify the version.
• Can you please provide the video demonstrating the scenario in which the issue is produced.
• If possible, please share the modified sample.

Hi,

I have the same problem with the latest version. I have an inherited custom SfCombobox control, that referencing other files, so I cannot create an example but I created a simle button in my code to change combobox style at runtime:

   private void myButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

   {

       cbTermekcsoport.BackColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

       cbTermekcsoport.Style.ReadOnlyEditorStyle.BackColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

       cbTermekcsoport.Style.ReadOnlyEditorStyle.DisabledBackColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

       cbTermekcsoport.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledBackColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

   }

This works fine, the combobox backcolor will be set.

But this code has no effect:

        private void myButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            cbTermekcsoport.ForeColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

            cbTermekcsoport.Style.ReadOnlyEditorStyle.ForeColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

            cbTermekcsoport.Style.ReadOnlyEditorStyle.DisabledForeColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

            cbTermekcsoport.Style.EditorStyle.DisabledForeColor = GraboColor.ReadOnlyControlGrayForeColor;

        }

Unfortunatelly the forecolor never changing.

Thank you for help!
