Question : Set disabled backcolor to white

Hi

I have come across a problem with displaying a disabled backcolor.

I have a tab control (tbPage) with a page (pgDetail)  which contains about 30 textboxes in it with enabled = false

In my Load event I have the follwoing code
           
foreach (Control ctrl in this.pgDetail.Controls)
{
if (ctrl is TextBox)    
{
ctrl.BackColor = Color.White;
}      
}

When I preview the page the textboxes are greyed out so the BackColor is not white. However, if I put in a messagebox and get the BackColor of the textbox it tells me that it is white.

When I change the to Color.Yellow all the textboxes are yellow. The same for other colors, just not white.

I think this maybe a bug with VS2008?

Any clues on how to fix this?

Answer : Set disabled backcolor to white

Its greyed out completely, so you can set the textbox property to readonly = true
and then set font\color etc.
