ListView Colors..weird

[Bengi]

Anyone knows a reason why this would not paint my items/sub items ?

case WM_NOTIFY:
{
switch(LOWORD(wParam))
{
case IDC_LIST:
{
if(((LPNMHDR)lParam)->code == NM_CUSTOMDRAW)
{
NMLVCUSTOMDRAW *cdraw = (NMLVCUSTOMDRAW*)lParam;

             if (cdraw->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS\_PREPAINT)
                 return CDRF\_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;

             if (cdraw->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS\_ITEMPREPAINT || cdraw->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS\_SUBITEM)
             {      
                COLORREF crText;
                        
                 if ( cdraw->iSubItem==2 )
                      crText = RGB(255,0,0);
                 else if ( cdraw->iSubItem==1 )
                      crText = RGB(0,255,0);
                 else
                      crText = RGB(128,128,255);
                        
                 cdraw->clrText = crText;
                        
                 return CDRF\_DODEFAULT;
             }
                    
          }
}
}	

}

the message never arrives at if (cdraw->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT || cdraw->nmcd.dwDrawStage == CDDS_SUBITEM) i have seen other src codes and it all works well there (MFC examples but not API) any brief idea? /- Bengi - \

Have you seen Michael Dunn's article on Custom-Draw in List boxes? It's on this site (can't find link - it's entitled "Neat Things to do with CListCtrl using Custom Draw") - I have successfully followed that example to colour my List Box -Alex
