Color of Combobox on Windows 10 .. Greyish
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2017 08:10 PM
To All

I have noticed that the color of the combobox on Windows 10 turns a 'grey' color .. if one did not know, they would think the combobox was disabled. Here is the code .. any advice would be helpful.

 REDEFINE COMBOBOX oTime  VAR cTime       ID 114 of oGrps ;
         ITEMS aTime
         oTime:lIncSearch = .T.

 REDEFINE COMBOBOX oTime_Back  var cTime_Back ID 117 of oGrps ;
         ITEMS aTime_Back
         oTime_Back:lIncSearch = .T.
