Highlighting in a ListBox (RESOLVED)

[taxes]

Hi,

Please does anyone know how to highlight in colour one particular entry in a ListBox without affecting the others entries? I have got as far as realising that I have to make the ListBox Owner-Draw.

Then I have to put the entries into separate rectangles which have the appropriate back and fore colours, but I can't figure that out.

Do you have to use a listbox? If you use a listview, this is very easy:

Dim li As ListViewItem
        Dim ch As ColumnHeader
 
        'Set the view, so it looks like a listbox
        ListView1.View = View.Details
 
        'Create a new column, this can be done from the IDE using the column collection
        ch = New ColumnHeader
        ch.Text = "Column1"
        ListView1.Columns.Add(ch)
 
        'Add the items to the listview
        li = ListView1.Items.Add("A")
        li.ForeColor = Color.Red
        li = ListView1.Items.Add("B")
        li.ForeColor = Color.Blue
        li = ListView1.Items.Add("C")
        li.BackColor = Color.Black
        li.ForeColor = Color.White

Many thanks for prompt reply.

Good idea.
