INFO: Read-Only Control Takes on DisabledBackColor (157045)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 5.0
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows 6.0
This article was previously published under Q157045 SUMMARY
In Visual FoxPro 5.0 and 6.0 for Windows, several read-only controls take
on the DisabledBackColor property. The ListBox and ComboBox controls
display that color at all times, while the TextBox control displays the
DisabledBackColor when focus is moved to it. Regardless of the settings of
the DisabledBackColor and ReadOnly properties, a TextBox control within a
column of a Grid does not assume the DisabledBackColor. An EditBox displays
the DisabledBackColor unless the EditBox also has a BackStyle property of
Transparent, in which case it shows the colors of the Windows Display 3D
Object setting of Windows Control Panel.
This behavior is in contrast to the colors displayed in Visual FoxPro for
Windows 3.0 and 3.0b, where the colors of the controls are not affected by
the settings of the ReadOnly property.
This change is in accord with the standards established with Windows 95.
