Styling a disabled item in a combobox

[Craig]

I'm using Telerik RadControls for Silverlight Q1 2011 SP1.  I have a combobox with five items.  Only of the items will be disabled.  The other items will be enabled.  I'd like to style the disabled item so that its background color is black, and its foreground color is white.  I would like some advice on how to do this.

Thanks,
Craig

Hi Craig,

In order to achieve the desired scenario you could use converters in order to change the Background and Foreground colors only of the disabled ComboBoxItems. For your convenience I have prepared and attached a sample project which demonstrates the exact approach.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, Kalin.  It looks like the foreground still appears gray, despite the fact that it is set to blue in the IsEnabledToForegroundColorConverter class.  Maybe there's an opacity setting that needs to be changed.  I'll play around with it and see what I can find.

Correction.  After studying the screen a little more carefully, the item does in fact appear blue, not gray.  But the color is very faint.  I think this may be due to an opacity setting somewhere.
