It makes you wonder why they dont have a simple property like that for the listbox.

Have you considered the Listview ?, that control does have the simple property and can be used easily like this

ListView1.Items(2).ForeColor = Color.Red

Yes, it would have been nicer if most controls had properties like that so you can easily color individual items.

Anyways, using ownerdrawing is the way to go. The posted link should get you started. You can also search the Forums too as we have code examples all over.
