Many people have rightly pointed out that the KryptonComboBox is deficient because it does not draw its text when disabled. If you have an input Form where some ComboBox instances are disabled then this could be a real show stopper.

After some investigation, prompted by a Forum discussion, I have solved the issue. Here is a picture with three KryptonComboBox instances…

The top instance is enabled, the second instance is disabled and the third is also disabled but with some garish colors defined in the StateDisabled settings. This fix will be in the next full release in a few months time.

But what if you prefer not to wait that long? Check out this Forum post and towards the bottom is a workaround for those without the Krypton Toolkit source as well as an entry describing a fix for those with the code…
