background color of individual list items
in [MFC]
|
From: R.H. on 15 Feb 2005 13:28 I was wondering if someone might know if it is possible change the background color of a listbox so that one line was the default white and another line was some other color. If not, I guess I will have to use individual label controls for this. I would rather use a listbox though. Thanks, Roger
From: AliR on 15 Feb 2005 13:34 You can do that if you set the owner draw flag. It is pretty easy. take a look these examples: http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/listbox/colorlistboxes/article.php/c4745/ http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/controls/listbox/colorlistboxes/article.php/c1611/ What you would have to do is overwrite the DrawItem and MeasureItem methods, and do your own drawing in the DrawItem method.

From: Joseph M. Newcomer on 15 Feb 2005 13:51 Sure, Use owner-draw. You might want to download my "Logging Listbox Control" from my MVP Tips site. Now in this one, I do not change the background color, I change the foreground color, but you can use the same framework to change the background color. Note that I use an abstract superclass to represent the object, and ask it what color it should show. I ask the foreground color; you could ask the background color. joe On Tue, 15 Feb 2005 10:28:14 -0800, "R.H." <roger.hugginsNoSpam(a)intermec.com> wrote: >I was wondering if someone might know if it is possible change the >background color of a listbox so that one line was the default white and >another line was some other color.
