Title: Listbox color
Post by: Andy on March 02, 2012, 04:32:12 AM
Hi,

Silly question time but:

using the @listbox command and populating the listbox using the ADDSTRING command, can I change the color of an individual string in that listbox so it stands out?

In other words, 5 entries in the listbox, can you change the color for say entry 3?

I'm guessing no, but then again i'm usually wrong!

Thanks,
Andy.

Found an example here on the forums by Sapero that showed how to add bitmaps to a listview.
I modified it a bit and came up with the attached example.

Hope it will let you do what you want.

Hi Larry,

Thanks, thats what I would like but i'm having difficulty incorporating it into the Browser_Test2Modified example. Just wanted to highlight an entry in the history list.

Will keep on trying!

Thanks,
Andy.

What is the criteria you use to select the line to change the color on?
When is the color of a line to be changed?

The attached causes item 2 (3rd entry in the 0 based list0 to be a different color.
