Change color of a listview subitem

[philbell]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to change the colour of a sub item in the VB6 listview control ?

The ListItem itself has a ForeColor property, that will allow you to change the color. Unfortunately, there is no BackColor, so that remains unchanged.

The ListItem also has a collection of ListSubItems. Now unlike SubItems, which kust contains the text of the subitems, the ListSubItems exposes a whole lot of properties for the SubItems. Here you can set the ForeColor of each SubItem.

I hope this helps.

Me again,
I just have to add that when you change the ListItem.ForeColor, the change shows automatically in the listview. When you change the ListSubItem.ForeColor, the chnage is not visible until the control refreshes, so you would want to do this after changing the color.

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim MyItem As ListItem
Dim MySubItem As ListSubItem

Set MyItem = ListView1.ListItems(lngIndex)

MyItem.ForeColor = vbRed

For Each MySubItem In MyItem.ListSubItems
MySubItem.ForeColor = vbRed
Next MySubItem

ListView1.Refresh

End Sub

This works fine,

Thanks very much for your help
