Dropdown list when disabled is darker than all the other components

In a Blazor Server project, when SfDropDownList has Enabled="false", it appears darker than other disabled components. Is this expected behavior, or is there a way to make it match the others?


<SfDialog CssClass="">

    <DialogTemplates>

        <Content>

            <EditForm Model="@model" OnSubmit="OnFormSubmit">

                <DataAnnotationsValidator />


                <!-- This control appears darker than all other ones in the form -->

                <SfDropDownList @bind-Value="@model.LocOut" DataSource="LocationList" TValue="string" TItem="TextValue" CssClass="e-small me-2" Enabled="@false">

                    <DropDownListFieldSettings Value="Text" Text="Text" />

                    <DropDownListEvents TValue="string" TItem="TextValue" ValueChange="userInput.DropDownListValueChanged" />

                </SfDropDownList>


                <SfTextBox Value="@CarRentalService.RaFile.StartDate.ToString()" CssClass="e-small" Enabled="false" />

                <SfNumericTextBox @bind-Value="@model.MileageOut" Format="######" TValue="int?" Min="0" ShowSpinButton="false" CssClass="e-small" Enabled="false" />


            </EditForm>

        </Content>

    </DialogTemplates>

</SfDialog>

Hi Ben Junior,


 

Thank you for sharing the details and code snippet with us. Based on the information provided, we created a sample using your code and tested it with the dark theme. Unfortunately, we were not able to reproduce the scenario you mentioned where the disabled DropDownList appears darker than the other disabled components.


 

For your reference, we have included both a runnable sample and a GIF demonstration below:

Hi,

I found the issue — it was actually the other way around. The other controls appeared lighter because of a custom CSS rule.

Thank you for providing the sample; it helped me pinpoint the problem.

Best regards,
Ben
