Changing the colour of a wxTextCtrl when Enabled=False

Question

Is there a way to change the colour of a wxTextCtrl when it is disabled or another way to lock the control for input when it is enabled?

I don't like the gray text on a gray background, with a gray border, it makes the information inside the control harder to read.

I'm using wxSmith, there is no tag available for it.

Call SetEditable(false) for the text control to block input.

Excellent solution, I'm unable to change the values and I can still select and copy the values. THANK YOU!! – hennep Jul 02 '19 at 14:39

You can also give the wxtextCtrl the style wxTE_READONLY at creation time to do the same thing.

Both options work fine but this one is less work, that's important for a lazy person like me :-) – hennep Jul 03 '19 at 15:21
