Because it's not so obvious. I've experienced this with other controls on Forms in the past. That I would play around with things being Read-Only vs. Enabled - to get a better control over colors and how its displayed. But, mostly I found out what was better via trial & error.

What a brilliant idea. Why didn't I think of that :-)

Thanks

On checkbox controls we use the ReadOnly property instead of the enabled property to control user access and it looks much better

I have a form with several check boxes on it. They are initially disabled but are enabled when the user clicks the Edit button. I have set the Disabled ForeColor to 0,0,0 so the caption is always black but when the box is disabled the tick is a light grey and can hardly be seen. Is there any way I can make the tick be the same colour when disabled as when enabled?

TIA
