Windows Forms: How do you change the font color for a disabled label

For the textbox, you can set the readonly property to true while keeping the control enabled. You can then set the BackColor and ForeColor property to whatever you like. The user will still be able to click on the control and have a blinking cursor, but they won't be able to edit anything.

Not sure if this extrapolates out to other control types like combo boxes or whatnot as I haven't had a chance to experiment yet, but it's worth a shot.

Have you tried implementing the EnabledChanged event? Or are you looking for more of a "styles" property on the control (as far as I know, they don't exist)?
