Listbox color issue

[aharrisreid]

I am trying to work out what the difference is between the listbox.DisabledForeColor and DisabledItemForeColor properties (same applies to the ...BackColor) . The VFP8 help file is not very helpful - can anyone help me out here?

Many thanks,
Alan

Alan,

If you set the listbox's Enabled property to .F., the DisabledForeColor will apply; this will apply to the whole of the listbox.

If you disable an individual item (typically by preceding it with a backslash [this applies to certain rowssourcetypes only]), the DisabledItemForeColor will apply.

If you have both a disabled listbox and disabled items, the DisabledForeColor will take priority.

Hope this is clear.

Mike

It is now. Thanks very much.
