Hi;

Disabled items in office 2010 dark (black) theme are no longer readable in Version 24.2:


In version 19.1 evenrything has been drawn as expected and of course readable.

How can we change the color of disabled text to a somehow lighter gray?

TIA

No idea?
The same happens with disabled edit fields.

Hello,

I've tested checkbox control with Office 2010 black theme in RibbonSample (v24.2). 
I add this code for test and any problem has not found. All works as expected.
m_chkPreview.SetCheck(TRUE);
m_chkPreview.EnableWindow(FALSE);
See please screenshot.

May be you have another case. How I can reproduce this bug with our sample?

Regards,
Artem Gontarenko

Hi;

In my case I have a CXTPResizeDialog based window (contained in an AFX extension DLL). 
Inside the dialog ressource I have a CXTPTabControl and a large toolbar (CXTPToolbar) on top.
The tab control with three pages includes another three dialogs that are dynamically created and added to the three tab pages inOnInitDIalog of the parent dialog.
That's all. With this scenario the disabled items within the child dialogs of the tab controls cannot be read - as shown in my initial screenshot.
