Backcolor of a combobox 1

[SAWS]

Hello,

I'am starting up my first project in VB .Net and I have a little question.

I use several fields like textboxes etc. and standard I place them disabled. I change the backcolor to white so it is clear to read. When I do this with a combobox it is still gray when it is disabled. Can I change this ?

Thanks in advance.

Private Sub btnEnable_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnEnable.Click
With ComboBox1
.Enabled = True
.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDown
End With

End Sub

Private Sub btnDisable_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnDisable.Click
With ComboBox1
If (.Enabled) Then

.Enabled = False
.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
.BackColor = Color.White
End If
End With

End Sub

I tried both examples below, and it seems that when the combobox is disabled it will not change the backcolor.

cboName.BackColor = Color.FromKnownColor(KnownColor.White)

cboName.BackColor = Color.White

HI KJ
The above code which i sent will work the problem is that that you can only change teh back-clolor if the combobxtyle is ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList
so my code is changing it at run-time when you want to disable the combobox with white back-ground
and i am again changing it back to the ComboBoxStyle.DropDown when you want to enable it
