Thank you gentlemen. I've decided to leave the default behavior alone. Jim

listview selected row is light grey when control loses focus, not deep blue -
listview selected row is light grey when control loses focus, not deep blueWhen an row in a ListBox is selected, it is highlighted a nice deep blue. If that ListBox loses focus, the ListBox's selected row remains highlighted in blue. However, when a ListView loses focus (and it's HideSelection property is set to false), although the selected rows remain highlighted, the highlight is no longer a nice deep blue but rather a barely visible light grey. Is there a way to change the highlighted color of ListView's selected row when the ListView no longer has focus? Thanks,
Jim Dolson

MDI children w/progress bars not asynchronously updatingBackground: I have a Visual Studio 2008 VB Windows application. The main window form can contain several MDI children. Each MDI child contains a progress bar to show the progress of actions which can take several minutes (the loading and parsing of large data files). Question: How I can have all of the progress bars from all of the MDI children continue to update even though only one of the MDI children is the active one? Problem Description: Say I start an action from within one MDI child (the loading and parsing a large file). The progress bar begins to slowly advance. Say I then start an action from a different MDI child. The progress bar in that MDI child begins to slowly advance but the progress bar from the first MDI child no longer increments. However, the action that I started from the first MDI child (the loading and parsing) does continue to run. If I leave the second MDI child form and click on the first MDI child form, the progress bar of the first MDI child immediately jumps to where it should be but then the second MDI child's progress bar stops advancing (although the second MDI child's action continues to be performed). Thank you for whatever suggestion you might have. Jim
