I've seen several code examples of doing things with the listview, but the code seems to be a bit more than I need.
I have built an address book similar to the one in Outlook.
As people enter partial names, it sorts through the list and finds the appropriate item. I have the hideselection set to false so I can see what item is selected, but the item is grey because the listview doesn't have focus.

Is there an api call that can be made to change the color of a selected item that doesnt' have focus to the same color as the selected item ie blue??
