WinForm Controls behave differently on .Enabled = false

Question

I have some controls on a WinForm namely: CheckedListBox, ListBox,ListView, TreeView, TextBox.

On

ControlName.Enabled = false;

I have found following results:

• ListView and TextBox's BackColor get greyed.
• CheckedListBox, ListBox and,TreeView's BackColor does not get greyed.

Why is this behavor? Is it a intented or Bug? and how to unify behavior?

Answer 1

AFAIK, this is by design unless you override the default behavior.

This is not exactly related but I thought I will post a link to another question.

How do I make a Windows Forms control readonly ?
