Hi Experts

I am facing a problem of changing the color of disable text item.
The display color is gray whereas the desired color is blue....
I have tried to achieve it by changing the property enable,insert_allowed,update_allowed=false and change the color by set_item_property(item,foreground_color,'blue') but no result.

No clue was found on this forum regarding the above problem except the one which i tried as above...

Thanks

Simply,
# Create one visual attribute.
# Set forground color there.
# Apply this Visual attribute on runtime(by set_item_property).

Yes i do agree with athar. you can't change foreground color of disabled item. (but you can change background color). So it would be fine if you change this 'disabled' item to 'Display' item.
