That is the correct behaviour. You just didn't notice it because=20
Win32lib used to change the background to white all the time, even if the=
=20
edit control was read-only or disabled.

This is definantly NOT "correct behaviour"!
I liked it better the old way, even if the
background was acttually drawn ccorrectly.

The correct behaviour is like this: http://wingzone.tripod.com/mle.htm=
=20
That's a Dialog box with, as shown, a Read-only Multiline edit box. However=
,=20
when I run a sample in Windows XP, the Mle ends up completely white (when=
=20
readonly, of course.) Judging from both of our results, it seems there migh=
t=20
be a bug in Win32lib, caused by one of the changes to get Manifests working=
.=20
If you want Mle's to be white all the time, though, you can use=20
setWindowBackColor() to change the background. This seems to work properly=
=20
for me, at least.

The real fix is to change ...
classBGColor[ MleText ] = w32NoColor
to ...
classBGColor[ MleText ] = COLOR_WINDOW
