Text Box Text Color

I disabled a text box. When I run the program the text inside the text box is faded. I tried changing the properties of the forecolor to black but nothing changes, the text is still faded. Is there a way to make the text in the text box darker and readable when the text box is disabled?

Try the .Locked variable.
Edit: As a side note, I can change the forecolour while a textbox is disabled... Go figure?

Hope this helps...

change your textbox into label..

label.caption = text.text
label.width = text.width
label.height = text.height
label.top = text.top
label.left = text.left
text.visible = false
label.visible = true
