I want to set Enabled=False in my TMemo, but I don't want the text to turn gray.

Answer:

OPTION 1: 

Ok, this is a dirty trick. But is works fine for me. 

Set the Enabled to True (yes realy). 
In the OnEnter event of your memo put: 

1   procedure TForm1.MyMemoEnter(Sender: TObject);
2   begin
3     SomeOtherControl.SetFocus;
4   end;


Now, focus will be forced to some other control every time your user tries to fucus 
on your memo. To the user it seems that the memo is disabled. 

OPTION 2: 

This one is much simpler: 
Put the memo on a panel. Then set Panel.Enabled=False. 
Ok, this works if you can put the memo on a panel. Just with inherited forms you can get into some trouble. But is should work for most people.
