How to change font color for disabled RadTextBox, RadDatePicker?

[Frank]

Because of different user groups, we need to give different user access, so for some of them, we only want them to view the values of RadTextBox and RadDatePicker. So we disabled them. But the problem is the grey font color is too light to read. How can we change the font color of disabled RadTextBox and RadDatePicker?

Hi Frank,

You can set DisabledStyle-ForeColor property of RadTextBox and DateInput-DisabledStyle-ForeColor property of RadDatePicker as follows to change the forecolor in disabled state.

ASPX:

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server" Text="jdfdsklfsdklfj" Enabled="false" DisabledStyle-ForeColor="Black" ></telerik:RadTextBox>
<telerik:RadDatePicker ID="RadDatePicker1" runat="server" DateInput-DisabledStyle-ForeColor="Black" SelectedDate="10-10-2012" Enabled="false" ></telerik:RadDatePicker>

Thanks,
Princy.

Is there a way to have different colors to different words in the same with multiline enabled. So next line gets to start with different colors and other variants.

In case we are using VB.NET

Hi Gowtama,

The requested feature is not supported out-of-the box by RadTextBox, which is rendered as <input> element on the page. The input elements can load only pure plain text content.

You can achieve your scenario with RadEditor by integrating and modifying a bit the custom client-side solution here. The content area of RadEditor is an editable div/iframe so you can use the approach demonstrated in the demo to change the colors of the letters/words in it.
