View 2 RepliesVBbasic 2008: I have a readonly textbox in a panel. The background color needed to be change to white for a more "readable" text. The problem is when I set the panel "enabled= false", the only control that does not look "disabled" is my textbox because it stays "white"! Even if I set the textbox to disable, it stays "white". How do you change the default backcolor of a readonly textbox instead of "forcing" it to white? Is it possible?

View 5 RepliesI'm trying to change the backcolor of a .Net GridView when a certain condition is met. This should be fairly straightforward, but the color change isn't happening. Checking the rendered HTML shows absolutely nothing different in the affected rows even though the text change on the link is happening as expected.There is a default theme set for all gridviews and I haven't worked with that in the past. Is that preventing me from dynamically changing the color of a row or am I missing something else? I'm using .Net 3.5 and have the following in my code behind:
Protected Sub gvPrevious_RowDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As GridViewRowEventArgs) Handles gvPrevious.RowDataBound
If e.Row.RowType = DataControlRowType.DataRow Then
If currentCorrespondence.IsRetired Then //custom object, returning as expected
Dim link As LinkButton = DirectCast(e.Row.Controls(4).Controls(2), LinkButton)
[code]....
From the above code, when I go into the browser and view source, I would expect to see <tr style="background-color: #CD5C5C;"> for the affected rows. Instead, I see <tr> and <tr class="AlternateRowStyle"> (where appropriate). I see absolutely no effect from the BackColor property change. I have also attempted to use e.Row.CssClass with the same result.

View 3 RepliesI believe that the correct way to give a property a default value is to use the Default Attribute on the Property.[code]In the property window, the value that's displayed in a grid's property bag when it's newly dropped onto a form is False, not True. It does recognise that the default value should be True because it shows the value as bolded and then de-bolds it when we manualy set it to true - but it doesn't respect the default as the initial value. Is there any way of getting the property bag to respect the default value?
