Using the Sample Browser "Read-Only State" sample:
In read-only state, for example, the value(list control) for the FontFamily changes to a gray color while the value(textbox) for the FontSize foreground remains the same. To me, the textbox should also change to a gray color so that the user will know it is in a read-only state. Is there a way to do that for all the various embedded controls to be grayed out in read-only state?
Hello,
Microsoft's default WPF theme for TextBox doesn't update the foreground when in read-only state.
However there is inconsistency in that sample you mentioned since our ComboBox property editors are changing foreground when read-only, while our TextBox property editors are not. We discussed it here and feel there should be at least some subtle difference in foreground in our themes when read-only in addition to there being no blinking caret.
We are going to update read-only edit controls to use a new read-only foreground brush in our themes that will be slightly dimmer than normal, but not as dim as disabled foregrounds.
Please note that a read-only PropertyGrid already slightly dims all the text in the property name column.
Thanks, yeah the inconsistency there is the key point.
When will that be available?
