<div>
thanks for your reply, <br />
your component would work correctly but this would give me a control that can get the focus (even though you won't be able to change anything because it's a read-only). &nbsp;What is needed is the exact same behaviour as diabled i.e. no focus.<br />
<br />
any ideas ?<br />

ok to try this put my comp on a form and a button<br />
give my comp some disabledcolors then on button click type this:<br />
<br />
SetWindowLong(DisabledColo<wbr />rEdit1.Han<wbr />dle,GWL_ST<wbr />YLE,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; GetWindowLong(DisabledColo<wbr />rEdit1.Han<wbr />dle,GWL_ST<wbr />YLE) or WS_DISABLED);<br />
DisabledColorEdit1.Enabled<wbr />:=False;<br />

<br />
SetWindowLong(DisabledColo<wbr />rEdit1.Han<wbr />dle,GWL_ST<wbr />YLE,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; GetWindowLong(DisabledColo<wbr />rEdit1.Han<wbr />dle,GWL_ST<wbr />YLE) and not WS_DISABLED);<br />

Hi,<br />
is there a way of changing the color of the font in a disabled tedit control? i.e is it possible to have the contents displayed in something different than the grey color to show a disabled status ? (for ex: I want red font over white background when control is disabled)

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
