My operating system is Windows XP Professional. I am trying to alter the font color and/or background color of a textbox object within a C++ desktop application.
The problem is that when a textbox object is disabled, the font is dark grey on a lighter grey background and the text appears difficult to read. Ideally I would like to set the font color to black, leaving the background as light grey.
The application is a 3rd party solution so we have no control over the application settings from a programming point of view, so the color setting must come from the Windows side.
I have been through the Control Panel\Display\Appearance tab settings and have changed the scheme and item settings, but this does not affect the textbox font as I would like. Is there anything in the Registry to update this or any other solutions?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
