Hi,

if I set ReadOnly=true the EditBox gets a grey background. I want to have the background have another colour. Using:
has absolutly no effect. How do I alter the background?

You would need subclassing to change this color.

How urgent do you need a solution? I'm in the progress of updating some parts of EditControls and could implement a new property called "DisabledBackColor" or something like that. The problem is, that I do not have much time to work on the controls, so 2 weeks could pass before I can release the update.

Thank you, two weeks are enough for me

What exactly do you mean with subclassing in this context?

The WM_CTLCOLORSTATIC message that is sent to the control's parent window must be handled.

I now tried to intercept the which fires when the text is changed so I can nullify the change. Unfortunatly there is no such event :/

Sounds like you're looking for the TextChanged event.

Unfortanatly TextChanged fires after the change and with no parameters. I have done a workaraound now, wrapping the whole text changing

Hi,

what I'm doing wrong?
The backcolor of the text should be red also!

Looks like version 1.4.0 introduced several drawing issues. Please try the attached version.

Thanks!
That was quick!
