Set font, color for ListviewItem? [resolved]

[Shurijo]

Dim lViewItem As New ListViewItem()

lViewItem.SubItems.Add(chr(252), System.Drawing.Color.Red, System.Drawing.Color.Green, New System.Drawing.Font("Wingdings", 10))

Me.myListView.Items.Add(lViewItem) 

Why doesn't this work?

I get the chr(252) character of the default font (MS Sans) and the background and foreground are the default (white/black) colors?

The background/foreground isn't important and I will change them back to white/black, but even that isn't working.

thanks,

Ok. I found out that I have to set the entire Item to the same background, foreground, font properties. A subitem (even thou it is possible via code) cannot have different properties than the item.

So this isn't "resolved", it's just impossible (unless using a custom control, etc.).

By default the listview subitems use the same font, style & color as the listitem to turn it off, do it like this.....

itm.UseItemStyleForSubItems = False
            itm.SubItems(1).Font = New Font("Tahoma", 9.0!, _
                        System.Drawing.FontStyle.Italic)

I'll leave the rest up to you to work out.
