[RESOLVED] Listview Background and Forground Colours for specific sub items.

[JayDeeData]

Hi, I've trawled a few forums and there is some discussion that the following is either not possible or requires a more complex solution using the graphics capability.

However as a noob, there appears to be the option (through intellitype) to set the foreground and background colors for the sub items within a Listview.

The following does not work; is that because I'm doing something silly or it just not that simple ?

If a value returns TRUE then I'm setting a Text value and trying to color it.

 If ValueStatus = True Then
                LstStatus.Items(Index).SubItems(1).Text = CStr(ValueStatus)
                LstStatus.Items(Index).SubItems(1).BackColor = Color.Green
            Else
                LstStatus.Items(Index).SubItems(1).Text = CStr(ValueStatus)
                LstStatus.Items(Index).SubItems(1).BackColor = Color.LightGray
            End If

any thoughts out there? thanks, J.
