FF3 - ListView Text And Text Background Colouring
« on: July 15, 2019, 07:56:39 PM »
Does anyone know if a ListView control can have different coloured Text And Text Background based on Items?
The 3 below work properly but they set colours for the entire ListView control not individual Items like Rows or Cells:


Code: [Select]

    '' Text
    ListView_SetTextColor(HWND_FORM1_LISTVIEW1, CLR_NONE) ' Windows text colour.
    '' Grid
    ListView_SetTextBkColor(HWND_FORM1_LISTVIEW1, &HBCB772 )
    '' The BackGround, behind everything
    ListView_SetBkColor(HWND_FORM1_LISTVIEW1, &HD25FDC)




I've been on the Microsoft site looking into all the various ListView API commands but nothing looks as though it will do what I want.
(If not then I'll dig a bit deeper into James Klutho's GRD (very nice) which I've yet to figure out how to get onto a FF3 or WinFBE form.)


Thanks.

No. Windows controls do what they do and, when you want something different, you have to make them owenerdraw and paint them by yourself.

Thanks José, I had a feeling that was going to be the answer. Time for a little research!
