Hi,



I'm using v6.3 of the DevExpress wrapped controls. Is there anyway to preserve the readonly state of the controls only changing the background color using this version? Iv'e messed around with the IgnoreMangeReadOnlyState of the control, ManageUIReadOnlyState property of the BO and the AppearanceDisabled backcolor of the control. It seems as though if I want to change the appeance of a disabled control, I have let the BO be in an "always on" editing state.



Thanks

I figured it out. In the Properties of the control I set the backcolor to white and leave the Readonly mangagers to there default state. It gives me what I need.

Glad you got it going

One of the things I like about the Infragictics controls is that unlike the standard MS controls many have a ReadOnly property that allows you to effictively disable the control and still be able to see it clearly. I'm not sure how other SF/Infragistics users feel but I'd like to see tthe Infragistics wrapper use the ReadOnly property where available insted on Enabled to support ManagedReadOnlyState. 

I agree, this would probably have to be a shared global option so as not to change any existing behavior on the field.  But I agree that this would be better.
