I understand how to use a dropdown list control to display the
associated description value for a foreign key in a parent rather than
the key itself, but I don't like having to disable the control when I
want to prevent editing (simply displaying in the display template of a
datalist or detailview control, for example). I've not been able to
find a way to edit the disabled color of the dropdown list, so it
appears very washed out - just not a good look and doesn't make much
sense to the user.
Is there a way to bind a text box to the description field in a lookup
table? If I'm showing a list of orders, I really don't want to display
the surrogate key value to denote the customer. I would rather display
the customer's name from the Customers table.
