ADO is tired of squinting at gray text? ReadOnly can offer you a better solution.
Now I find the exact signal that I'm getting older is not a whole body, but it's becoming more and more difficult to understand the meaning of invalid text (disabled text) in the input box or text area of a Web page. For old folks like me who miss the old Windows 2000, the gray text seems to have a tendency to blend in with the background.
Fortunately, there are more inexpensive solutions than eye laser surgery, even with properties called ReadOnly. This property will display the invalid text in the same contrast as normal text, while still maintaining the failure characteristics of the text "Far view but not profane". This has become the best way to balance the two.
List A shows an example of how to use this property, and List B shows the actual situation. In short, this is definitely a much cheaper option than visiting ophthalmologists.
