There are text boxes that, under ce 1

[sashaDG]

There are text boxes that, under certain conditions, should not be changed (enabled = .F.), but I do not like the gray color of the values.

Is there another way to disable the changes but keep the bright black values?

Have you tried changing the TEXTBOX DisabledForeColor to Black?

Sasha,

or leave enabled but have the .when() method return false under those conditions.


that said, the idea of the disabled/readonly colour change is to indicate to the user that they can't/must't be changed.

I would always go with ReadOnly rather than NOT Enabled. Not only is ReadOnly better cosmetically, but it allows the text to be selected and then scrolled or copied to the clipboard.

As the others have said, you can get what you want, but one caveat. When you use ReadOnly or make the disabled colors match the enabled colors, you're taking away from the user the signal that this textbox isn't available right not. It's really frustrating to try to type into what looks like an enabled textbox and have it not work.

Readonly is definitely less restrictive to users still enabling them to copy and paste, but also scroll through a value, if it's larger than the box size.

On the other side you have the colors under your control with DisabledForecolor and DisabledBackcolor. Just like there are Forecolor and Backcolor.
