    You can subclass the listview and set fore/back colors. One example found here. More examples exist & recommend experimenting.

  7. Re: How is the behaviour of VB6 compiler while comparing two string?

    When talking about equality/inequality, i.e., Str1=Str2 or Str1<>Str2, then first test should probably be string length. If strings are not the same size; then strings cannot be equal.
