WPF Text block gray out text

Question

Hi

I want to gray out text in the WPF text block. how do i make it?

Regards Raju

Answer 1

Use TextBox instead and set IsReadOnly = true or IsEnabled = false

Answer 2

On C#:

textBox.Foreground = Brushes.Gray;

On XAML:

<TextBox Foreground="Gray" />

To disable it (will change background too):

textBox.IsEnabled = false;

Answer 3

You can set the TextBlock.Foreground property to any color (technically, any Brush). If you want it to be grayed out, just set:

<TextBlock Text="Foo" Foreground="Gray" />

If you want it to look "disabled", you can set IsEnabled to false:

<TextBlock Text="Foo" IsEnabled="false" />
