    text color in listbox

    Hi,

    May i know if we are able to change the text color of the List Box when the listbox is created using MFC Dialog 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....
