You'll probably have to create a custom textbox control and change the
background color when the control is disabled. I believe that the regualar
controls stop responding to property changes when they are disabled but if
you implement your own you can do whatever you want.

Good Luck!

The background color of read-only textboxes actually /can/ be changed by
assigning the desired color to its 'BackColor' property.
