Change Background Color of (disabled) Combobox

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I would like to change the background (and text) color of combobox, edit and datetime controls when they are disabled. 

I specified new colors using the "FillColor" and "TextColor" properties, BgType is "BorderFill". The preview that Stylebuilder shows me looks fine but the new values seem to have no effect in my actual program :-(. If the controls are disabled they are always painted with the dialog background.

This does not look that bad on dialogs but if the controls are drawn on a property page they are completely out of place as they are much brighter than the page. 

Is this a bug?
