Combo box BackColour

[julian jelfs]

Hi,

Is there any way to stop a ComboBox becoming almost invisible when its Enabled property is set to false. i.e. I would like to be able to change the BackColor back to what it was before I disabled it - this works for text boxes but not for ComboBoxes. I really don't want to have to create my own ComboBox class just to do this.

Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem, it seems ridiculus having to create your own derived combobox control just to handle the colors better, the callendar control has the same problem when it's disabled, you can't set the bg or fg colors. Did you find a solution?

Write your own control inherit from the combobox then display a label when disable is set.
