Hi Brisingr, Thanks for your reply. I have already had a look at ObjectListView but I discarded it because it also carries a lot of code that I do not need - I hoped for something more simple. But you may be right that it is no other alternatives to do a lot of hard coding myself. Anyway I will once again consider to use it. Thanks :) ,

Hi Eddy, Thanks for your reply. I already had a look at that link and https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.drawsubitem(v=vs.110).aspx[^] as well. However that example as well as others draws the entire cell in the same color. My problem is that I'm not a very skilled C#/.NET programmer, but I'll try to dig deeper into that subject. When/if I find a solution I'll post it here.

Hi There, I'm about to make a small application Windows Form/C# to keep different kind of informations such as passwords credit card info etc. It is rather simple with a treeview on the left side and a listview on the right side. Now I implement 'Search' and 'Find next' and it works fine so far in both views. However when I find and highlight a hit in a listview subitem the entire cell (background) is highlighted but I only want to highlight the text itself. (I would like to add some screen shots but I don't know how to do it). Any ideas how to solve this (code example are very much appreciated)? Thanks in advance,
