From a message I sent to hit-dev in April and never got a response to:
My apologies. I didn't subscribe to that list until after WWDC, I
believe. (I also got 3000 messages behind on Carbon-Dev and bulk-
marked them all unread so I could keep track of new messages while
Eric had a little vacation.)
Why do static text controls (created with CreateStaticTextControl)
refuse to draw in the disabled text color when they're in dialogs
that have the stripy gray background, but *do* draw with the
disabled text color when they're in white-background document
windows? It looks pretty weird when some controls' text looks
disabled and others' don't.
We were calling DeactivateControl to disable them. I changed those
to DisableControl, hoping it would help, but nope.
I made a small sample app to reproduce this on Tiger, and I can't. I
tried both composited and non-composited windows.
Maybe I don't understand something about your situation.
How do you get "stripy" windows? In the nib, I made a document window
with the Dialog theme brush. Maybe you are creating a Dialog Manager
dialog?
