So can I change the backcolor of a TextBox?

[Software]

Well I've read that in SP2 the backcolor property works for most of the
controls, but I couldn't find the TextBox control in the list.
NumericUpDown.BackColor property works for example, but I couldn't make any
TextBox control change its backcolor.
Font property seems to work for TextBox control, but not for the
ControlUpDown.
So is there a way to change the Font and the Backcolor of a TextBox or
ControlUpDown ?

Ooops, It turned out that the "color" properties didn't work on read only
controls. I don't know whether this is a bug or is intended to be so.
But how can I change the Font of a numericUpDown ? Still can find a
solution...

The Color properties of a TextBox can indeed not be changed for readonly
text boxes. This is by design.

A couple of months ago there was a question about changing fonts for
numericUpDown controls on which Michael Lipp from MS had a creative idea:

Perhaps it works for you as well.
