ultraTextEditor selected appearance
posted

Hi all

I have a ultraPanel with a dark BackColor and BorderStyle to "RaisedSoft".
On this panel, I have an ultraTextEditor with BackColor set to transparent
and ForeColor set to White.

Now, when it is shown on the form, it looks good.
But when I click in the textbox, the BackColor turns to white ... ??
I was looking for a SelectedAppearance, but there is none.

What can I do ? I just want to keep the Appearance as it is,
no matter it the textbox is selected or not.

Thanks for a quick feedback.

Regards
Frank Uray

    Hi Frank,

    When UltraTextEditor goes into edit mode, it displays an inbox TextBox control over itself, which is essentially a wrapper for the Windows TextBox class. This control does not support transparency. So there's no way to make it stay transparent when in edit mode.

    You could try using UltraFormattedTextEditor, instead. This control doesn't use the inbox TextBox control. Of course, it allows formatting like bold, italics, and such which you probably don't want. So it will take a little effort to disable that stuff via copy & paste or via the keyboard. But it will support a transparent background.
