Anyone know how to set disabled forecolor to black instead of default gray in textbox and other controls. Thread 72355 seemed to address this without success.

This is my attempt, backround colors work fine, forecolor does not:


System.Drawing.Color fc; // set forecolor black
fc = System.Drawing.Color.Black;

System.Drawing.Color bc;
if (tf == true)
bc = System.Drawing.Color.White; // enabled backround color
else
bc = System.Drawing.Color.Gainsboro; // disabled backround color

textBox1.Enabled = tf;
textBox1.BackColor = bc;
textBox1.ForeColor = fc;


Didnt expect to be dealing with this type of goofiness in .Net...

Many thanks,

Todd
