Read-only text box colors

[amwprogg]

Hi all.
I have a text box which has the current score (a changing
number) in it. I want it to be READ ONLY or DISABLED - but depending on the score I want the backcolor to change.
?

Basically, you need to change the DisabledBackColor and DisabledForeColor properties. You could do this in the text box's Refresh event:

IF THIS.Value < Whatever
  THIS.DisabledBackColor = 255
  THIS.DisabledForeColor = 0
ELSE
  THIS.DisabledBackColor = RGB(128,128,128)
  THIS.DisabledForColor = RGB(255,255,255)
ENDIF
