How to change listbox to listview???

Dim intIDX As Integer
Dim ServerList As ListOfServer

' Set MousePointer to Working Pointer
MousePointer = vbHourglass

' Clear the ListBox
lstComputers.Clear

' Get List of Computers on Network (Type All: Server and Workstation)
ServerList = EnumServer(SRV_TYPE_ALL)

' Loop through all the computers and add them to the listbox
If ServerList.Init Then
For intIDX = 1 To UBound(ServerList.List)
lstComputers.AddItem ServerList.List(intIDX).ServerName
Next
End If


1stComputer is the name of the listbox.How do i change the display to listview in order for me to change the colour of the item in it. I can display it in treeview but all the function such as right click pop up menu can't work. Please help....

Here is an example of how to use a listview, but coloring a row will be difficult.

VB Code:

Public Sub ColorListviewRow(lv As ListView, ByVal RowNbr As Long, ByVal RowColor As OLE_COLOR)
'***************************************************************************
'Purpose: Color a ListView Row
'Inputs : lv - The ListView
'         RowNbr - The index of the row to be colored
'         RowColor - The color to color it
'Outputs: None
'***************************************************************************
    
    Dim itmX As ListItem
    Dim lvSI As ListSubItem
    Dim intIndex As Integer
    
    On Error GoTo ErrorRoutine
    
    Set itmX = lv.ListItems(RowNbr)
    itmX.ForeColor = RowColor
    For intIndex = 1 To lv.ColumnHeaders.Count - 1
        Set lvSI = itmX.ListSubItems(intIndex)
        lvSI.ForeColor = RowColor
    Next
 
    Set itmX = Nothing
    Set lvSI = Nothing
    
    Exit Sub
End Sub

not made by me


useage:

VB Code:

ColorListviewRow ListView1, Index, Color

OK, that's the ForeColor and I assumed that tauhu82 was asking about the BackColor.

Thanks alot for helping me. Yes i'm looking for the forecolor because i have to differentiate each different computer. I will try the suggestions you all gave me. Post agin the result after i have try it ok.

Thank you so very much..... to All....

Sorry to hijack someone's thread, but when I tried to do this, I get a compile error with user defined type not defined error with the Public Sub line highlighted.

Do you have OLE_COLOR declared?

No Hack. I don't know what it is or how to declare it.

Then that is the user defined type it doesn't know.

Hold on, I know I have it somewhere.

I'm wrong. OLE_COLOR is actually a valid type. (I have no clue why I thought it was a UDT :confused: )

Ok, then the only other thing it could be (if it is blowing up on the Public Sub line) is the ListView.

Do you have a ListView control on your form?

I was just looking for that. No and I don't think I have the component to add it. I was just having a look at Martin's project.zip above.

Oh. Ok. I have found it - looking in the wrong place. Do I replace the list box with the listview?

I have added a listview and I still get the same error.

:confused: You have a listview on your form, and you get this error

on this line

VB Code:

Public Sub ColorListviewRow(lv As ListView, ByVal RowNbr As Long, ByVal RowColor As OLE_COLOR)

???

If so, that makes no sense. If you have a Listview on your form, that takes care of the first type....both a Long and OLE_COLOR are built in VB types.

Hmmm. Something funny going on. I just created a new project and it compiled ok. I'll get back to my form and do some checking.

Thanks for your time.

You might have a corrupt .vbp file that isn't picking up all of the standard references that are built into VB.

Try this:

Open up a new, standarrd exe, project. Remove the default Form1.

Add each form and module from your old project to this new project and run it. If the whole thing works, then your .vbp file was the problem. If so, just do a SaveAs on the project file, and overlay the old .vbp file.

(Incidentially, you would need to add any components or references to the new project file that the old one had as well as the forms and modules.)
