Calendar ignores colour change of non-selectable date text in IE...

[psaxelby]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with this problem please?

I'm having my first go at customising a control - and this problem has me stumped. I've searched in these forums & the net to no avail.

I've derived a class from the Calendar control and am trying to stop dates from other months from showing up.

The code that made sense to me...
....
day.IsSelectable = false;
cell.ForeColor = cell.BackColor;
....

... just leaves the text grey. I tried all sorts of ways of hiding the text, but nothing works. What's really strange is that when I set the forecolour to say 'white', the greyed text looks slightly thinner, and if I change the background to a dark colour the grey text has a shadow of whatever colour I set the forecolour to.

I've spent ages trying to solve this problem with my code, but I now think it's a problem with IE. If I view the control in Chrome for example, the code works as I thought it should.

Does anyone know of this problem and how to get around it please?



Many thanks,

Paul
