I want to change the color of the text shown in a textbox. Is it easily
achievable in C# ?

TIA,

Actually what I want to know also is, Why does the ForeColor not change the
color of the text in TextBox whereas a same named property does it in rich
textbox ?

You must be doing something odd because the text colour certainly does
change with the forecolor property.

The only reason for this behavior I can think of is that the textbox is
disabled.

Damn me!!
Did not realise that. You are right to some extent. The textbox was
read-only but not disabled (ReadOnly = TRUE, Enabled = TRUE). Now that I
have disabled it but its not read-only then it is showing different color. I
also need to change the BackColor property to control rather than window
(which was default) to get the greyed out look.

Thanks very much for the help,

Right,

Playing with those properties for a few minutes, I have now realised that
you were absolutely right. If I do not have it enabled, I cannot change the
text color at run time but during design time, if I change the ForeColor, it
does change the text color.

Anyways, It has solved my problem now.

Thanks again for your help,
