  • 0

I’d like to use the RichTextBox to display some rich text but make it disabled, so the text can’t be edited. I want the background to be transparent while it’s disabled, but the default behavior is to make the background greyed when the control is disabled. I’ve experimented with overriding the ControlTemplate and Styles but no luck.

Setting the background to transparent works great as long as I don’t set IsEnabled="False". There is a style trigger in the base ControlTemplate that resets the background when the control is disabled, but I can’t figure out how to override it.

    <RichTextBox Background="Transparent" IsReadOnly="True">

    Works as well as

    this.richTextBox1.IsReadOnly = "true";

    You do not need to use the IsEnabled property, as the IsReadOnly does not allow the user to interact, which is what you where looking for right?
