ListView Item/Subitem backcolor solution

[Aaron Dilliard]

A few days ago I posted a message wondering if anyone had any info on a problem with the ListView in .NET 2.0. The backcolor would disappear when scrolling or selecting and wouldnt come back until the form lost focus and got it back. (As a side note, calling Invalidate() or Refresh() on the ListView caused ALL items to lose color.) The solution turns out to be simple. In the Main method, just add Application.EnableVisualStyles(). HTH anyone with the same issue. Aaron
