Hi,
How do I change the font color of a TextItem when it is disabled?
I have used this in my java code:

txtItem.setTextBoxStyle("locTextItem");
txtItem.setDisabled(true);
txtItem.setTitle("Location");
txtItem.setValue("New York");

CSS code:

.locTextItem,
.locTextItemFocused,
.locTextItemError,
.locTextItemHint {
    padding:2px;
    border:1px solid #898d96;
    background:#FFFFFF;
    color:#333333;
    font-family:Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; 
    font-size:12px;
}
.locTextItemDisabled {
    padding:3px;
    border:0px solid #898d96;
    background:#FFFFFF;
    font-family:Arial,Verdana,sans-serif; 
    color:red;
    font-size:12px;
}

The padding, border, font-family, and font-size works and being applied to the TextItem except for the "color". It still remains as grey. How do I change the font color?

Thanks!

ok, I had work around on this one...

instead using :

txtItem.setDisabled(true);
txtItem.setTextBoxStyle("locTextItem");

I used:

txtItem.setAttribute("readOnly",true);
txtItem.setTextBoxStyle("locTextItem");

I got the idea from this Thread
