how to change the background color of a checkbox in a list control?

[tataxin]

I have a list control CListCtrl with report view and the extend style of LVS_EX_CHECKBOXES. Then I try to change the back ground color of the list control, to black color for example. It's done by overriding OnNMCustomdraw() method. Everything works well except the background color of all checkboxes. Now I don't know how to fix this problem. Any suggestion should be appreciated.

See XListCtrl - A custom-draw list control with subitem formatting[^].

I did it, not very well but it works. Actually, I try to do similarly to XListCtrl All I did here: I have a class MyListCtr direved from CListCtrl. Then I override OnNMCustomdraw, try to draw the rectangualar with specificed color (black in my case). The problem is how to catch event mouse click, determine checkbox state and change the drawing. I cannot understand the way XListCtrl do, it seems to register a defined event WM_XLISTCTRL_CHECKBOX_CLICKED, but I'm not sure. And TRACE, what is TRACE macro? hehe So I did like this: use event NM_CLICK

void CMyDlg::OnNMClickListData(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
/* get check box state */
NM_LISTVIEW* pNMListView = (NM_LISTVIEW*)pNMHDR;
*pResult = 0;

if (pNMListView->uOldState == 0 && pNMListView->uNewState == 0)
	return;	// No change

BOOL bPrevState = (BOOL)(((pNMListView->uOldState &
			LVIS\_STATEIMAGEMASK)>>12)-1);   // Old check box state
if (bPrevState < 0)	// On startup there's no previous state 
	bPrevState = 0; // so assign as false (unchecked)

// New check box state
BOOL bChecked=(BOOL)(((pNMListView->uNewState & LVIS\_STATEIMAGEMASK)>>12)-1);
if (bChecked < 0) // On non-checkbox notifications assume false
	bChecked = 0;

if (bPrevState == bChecked) // No change in check box
	return;	

}

I'd tried some ways but not success until this. Actually, I found it somewhere else.
