I have a requirement to let users copy from a label. In order to accomplish this i'm trying to make a text editor look like a label. It's almost there, but I don't want it to turn white when it enters edit mode. Is there a way to keep textbox transparent when it enters edit mode? Or even another way to make a label copyable?
Thanks,
Amie
Hi Amie,
I'm not sure what the issue is. I assume you are setting the control's Appearance.BackColor to SystemColors.Control to give it the same background color as a label. That should do it.
If you set the Appearance on an UltraTextEditor, then the Appearance will still be applied when the control goes into edit mode. It doesn't change color when it goes into edit mode - at least not by default.
Thanks for the response. I was not setting the Appearance.BackColor to SystemColors.Control...I was actually setting it to Color.Transparent. When I set to SystemColors.Control, it does not change color, as you said. But I don't want it to be gray, I want it to match the isl style behind it. How can I accomplish this?
