If you want to highlight a particular row, try this in your OnCustomdrawList function:

COLORREF crText, crBkgnd;
if ( CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT == pLVCD->nmcd.dwDrawStage )
{
if ( (pLVCD->nmcd.dwItemSpec % 3) == 2 )
{
LOGFONT lfFont;
CFont *pFont = GetFont();

		\_ASSERTE( pFont );
		pFont -> GetLogFont( &lfFont );
		CFont m\_fBFont;
		m\_fBFont.CreateFontIndirect( &lfFont );
		SelectObject(pLVCD->nmcd.hdc,m\_fBFont);

		
		crText = RGB(255,0,0); // sets text color
		crBkgnd = RGB(255,255,0); // sets text background/highlight color
                       
		pLVCD->clrText = crText;
		pLVCD->clrTextBk = crBkgnd;
	 }
    \*pResult = CDRF\_NEWFONT;


    }

}

To color the background of a particular column, try this:

if ( (CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT | CDDS_SUBITEM) == pLVCD->nmcd.dwDrawStage )
{
COLORREF crText,crBkgnd;
if (0 == pLVCD->iSubItem) // for column 0
{
crText = RGB(128,0,225);
crBkgnd = RGB(247,241,202);
}
else
if (1 == pLVCD->iSubItem) //for column 1
{
crText = RGB(0,128,0);
crBkgnd = RGB(247,241,202);
}
pLVCD->clrText = crText;
pLVCD->clrTextBk = crBkgnd;
// Tell Windows to paint the control itself.
*pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
}

highlight color of listctrl

A list has many parts - headers, rows or items, columns or subitems.... The text color of each can be changed; the background color (or what you call "highlight" color of each individual part can be changed. When you say, "Change the highlight colour of listctrl please specify which part of the listctrl you mean.
