LISTVIEW_SETBKCOLOR? where to put it?

Hi guys,

In fact I am not the question owner, it's my brother's and I will put as he asked me to: where should we put in the source code LISTVIEW_SETBKCOLOR macro? he says he tried to put in many places but with no result?

Could you help,

Thank you.

MSDN says this about it:

Code:

---

ListView_SetBkColor


Sets the background color of a list view control. You can use this macro or send the LVM_SETBKCOLOR message explicitly.

BOOL ListView_SetBkColor(
    HWND hwnd,
    COLORREF clrBk
);

Parameters
hwnd
Handle to the list view control.
clrBk
Background color to set or the CLR_NONE value for no background color. List view controls with background colors redraw themselves significantly faster than those without background colors.

...the best place to use it is just after it has been shown.

I gave the code you provided to my brother, but unfortunately it did not work, he says:

* He uses a resource in which this listview resides.
* He put the function ONWM_SHOWINDOW event.
* It always works for 1 second, and then returns to the
traditional white background quickly.
* That's why he thinks that the place where this function
had been put is incorrect (in his view point?).
* Could you provide me with small working source code?

Thank you,
