title: Make the text of a disabled textbox easier to see
body: <p>I have a text box that when it is disabled the text in it is gray and kind of dithered.  (This is the standard functionality.)</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to make this easier to see?</p>
  
  <p>I have tried this:   </p>
  
  <pre><code>txtBoxNumber.Enabled = false;
  txtBoxNumber.ForeColor = Color.Black;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and that has no effect.</p>
  
  <p>NOTE: This is a .net Compact Framework app, but I am not tagging the question with CF because I think it is the same for normal .net.</p>
