OnPaintBackGround ListView
-
I wanted to override the onpaintbackground of my listview control, but it never seems to be invoked. Is there a way I can cause it to invoke..maybe getting a message from WndProc. If so, what message?
I'm kind of at a loss of what your trying to do with the listview, the vb.net listview has a backcolor and picture properties. If you are you trying to add colors to the sub items, you'll need to set the listviewitem "UseItemStyleForSubItems" property to false: ' Make a ListView row. Private Sub ListViewMakeRow(ByVal lvw As ListView, ByVal item_title As String, ByVal ParamArray subitem_titles() As String) ' set the listviw back color lvw.BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow ' Make the item. Dim new_item As ListViewItem = lvw.Items.Add(item_title) 'must set useritemstyleforsubitems = false to change color new_item.UseItemStyleForSubItems = False ' Make the sub-items. For i As Integer = subitem_titles.GetLowerBound(0) To subitem_titles.GetUpperBound(0) new_item.SubItems.Add(subitem_titles(i), Color.Black, Color.AliceBlue, Font) Next i End Sub I hope this helps

I am recreating a Windows Explorer control. I am stuck at making the selected column (when in details view) have a different color. I was hoping that maybe I could paint the rectangle when the packground was painted and the items would still paint alright. I am just trying about anything I can think of or find close on the internet.
