Is it possible to change the fore and back colors of a combo box when its
enabled property is set to false? I need to lock the value of my combo boxes
(and still keep its color) but that control doesn't have a read-only
property.

Thanks!!
 
Hi Brian,

Did you set the colors in code when you enabled and disabled it, I do not
see the problem?

The combobox will use Windows' default colors when drawn in disabled
mode.
