VS 2008 : Change Textbox's Default "read Only" Colour?
Mar 27, 2009
I have a large number of textboxes on a form that are set to read-only until the user clicks an Unlock button. I have left the default colouring in place (no code required), so the boxes are light grey when read-only and change to white when not read-only. The problem I have is that Windows Vista's colours are so insipid and pale that it's hard to spot the difference on some monitors. It all looks good on an XP desktop but the difference is too subtle on a Vista PC.
Can the default colouring of a read-only textbox be changed? I know I can change it in code with backcolor but I don't want to put loads of code behind my Unlock button. That's the way I did it in VB6 and I want to get away from that. I just want to use the default "greying out" action when making the texbox read-only, but change to a slightly darker grey.

I'm trying to make a text editor, and I want to make it highlight different syntax in different colours.
E.g. when the user types in <html> I want that to appear in red.
How exactly would you go around doing this?
For a better visualisation, this is what I have so far:
From the properties pane of VB.net, I can only change the whole TextBox's font colour.

I am trying to conditionally change the colour of some text in a textbox, for example: If n=> 10 then txtbox1.forecolor = red
This doesn't appear to work, does the textbox need to be a 'rich textbox'

I am working with cases, I'm only learning it so far, but just can't get a drop down menu to work that would change the background of a Textbox.
Private Sub cbColours_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cbColours.SelectedIndexChanged
Select Case colours
Case Is = "Red"
txtSpace.BackColor = Color.Red
[Code] .....
It isn't doing anything at all...
In the dropdown menu, it has
Red, Blue and Green one per line
When the value (e.g. Green) is clicked, it will then change the Textbox to the colour selected.

I was just wondering is there a way to change the default name when you add a new control? I like to name my controls btnSomething etc... and if i could change the default names of added buttons from Button1, Button2 etc to btn1, btn2 etc.It will save me time when renaming.(Same applies for toolstripmenuitem buttons)Actually what would be ideal is if when i add a button, i directly go to the input for Text, and when i change that for the first time (like with toolstripmenuitems) the name changes according to the text (e.g. when you add a toolstripmenuitem in a context menu strip, if you set the text to "Reset" the name becomes ResetToolStripMenuItem. It would be awesome if i could make it automatically name to btnReset for buttons and tsmReset for toolstripmenuitems.)If there is a way to do this, even a difficult and not exactly pretty one involving macros and an input box, i would like to know

I have created a program that Draw a circle and then you can move it around a picturebox. I have made code so that it changes colour but instead of changing the colour of the circle already been drawn it creates a new circle which when you overlap the original circle with the new circle it cuts part of it.So what I wanted it to do when I change the colour of the circle it changes the colour of the circle already been drawn instead of creating a new circle.
[Code]...
Also I can't use the X and Y coordinate input to move the circle to the entered coordinates.

Is there a way to animate a TextBlock's colour change?
At the moment I am basically using the enter/leave events to change the colour and I would like to a almost like a fade (but a fast fade, so .1/.2 secs) to give it a nicer visual appearance instead of being instantaneous.
ps. Due to constraints, the actual code is vb.net but I will accept c#.net answers as I can read both fine. Just learning WPF.
