    Smile Color ListBox (Need help desperately pls....)

    Hi,

    May i know if we are able to change the text color of the List Box? For example, i have 10 items in the List Box. By default, the words are black in color.
    eg
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10

    Is there any ways i can change 1 or 2 items to another color, while the rest remain as black?

    eg
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10

    thanks for the help....

    I'm not sure about MFC, but I know with pure win32 api you can use owner drawn listboxes. http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...nerdrawn_boxes
    I'm not sure if you can still do that using MFC though, I'll make some example code if you want.

    BTW, there is a forum specifically for windows related questions.
