C# - Change BackColor of Diabled ComboBox and CheckBox
===

I'm setting up a Windows Form application and i'm creating a read only version of a form and another version of the same form for adding/modifying information. In the read only version I am setting up the form so that all of the form components are read only. By default in Visual Studio 2008, when a form component is disabled, the BackColor property of that component is changed to a grey(ish) color. This can be simply rectified by setting the BackColor property of the component after it has been disabled; However this is not the case with a ComboBox or a CheckBox. Once these components are disabled I am unable to modify their colours. Does anyone know how to change the colour of these components after they have been disabled? I've tried the following code but to no avail.

    comboBoxCategory.Enabled = false;
    comboBoxCategory.BackColor = Color.White;

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
