Hi, I have an issue with the backcolor of skinned controls in C#.Net, basically when I set "control.Enabled = false;" the disabled color takes the skinned backcolor. To be honest this just doesn't seem to look right, also the ForeColor is too light and needs to be a darker color! Just to be clear... I want to skin the controls, but I need to be able to override the BackColor & ForeColor when the control is disabled. I don't want to use the RemoveWindow method of the SkinFramework control as this removes the skinned look of the entire control! I just need to change the disabled colors. Also the controls being skinned are the Microsoft ComboBox & TextBox as these have been extended to fit our needs, one of which is a MultiColumnComboBox... See screenshot below...  I have tried the following:
However this initially flickers to Red and then is overridden with the default skin color! Obviously Red is only to see if I can get this to work, the disabled color should be a light gray. Can anyone please help!!! ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) v15.3.1 Platform: Windows 7 64-bit (SP1) Professional Edition Languages: C#.Net using Visual Studio 2012 & Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6) |

Hi SuperMario, Just a quick update to say I have resolved my issue with the way the ComboBox was being skinned. I have successfully developed my own Multi-Column Combo that allows for setting the combo as ReadOnly and change both the normal back & border colors as well as the disabled colors. I have also thrown in a few other options but as you can see from the screenshot attached it looks like it's skinned but I have taken full control of how it works. The far left combo is skinned using Codejock SkinFramework the other two are mine.  ------------- Product: Xtreme SuitePro (ActiveX) v15.3.1 Platform: Windows 7 64-bit (SP1) Professional Edition Languages: C#.Net using Visual Studio 2012 & Visual Basic 6.0 (SP6) |
