background color for a listveiw

I need to change the background color for each line of a listveiw. So if my value is blue I need that line to be blue, if it is red I need that line to be red. Please let me know what you can think of. Thanks all

Ryan Chong

Try use ListView's BackColor Property?

Example:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
ListView1.BackColor = vbRed
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
ListView1.BackColor = vbBlue
End Sub

ARK,
I am getting a error on NT when I closs the app??

Ark

Thanks for points, glad I could help you. As for error - this sample use subclassing, so you should close it from app (using [x] button on form) rather then from IDE. When compiled, this error won't occure.

Hello ! At first i would like to tell you that i have made the same question before and i will give you 70 points
if you successfully answer my question.

I tried your source code and it works ! But i tried it within my program and it crashes (kernel32.dll) . I do not
run the functions directly from form_load but after pressing a command button and after adding items to the listview.

Can you help?
Thanks!

Hello alexr123.
If you add items to listview, you have to unsubclass form first:
Call SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, g_addProcOld)
'Now add your items:
With ListView1.ListItems.Add(,,"Blah blah")
.Tag = CStr(QBColor(4)) 'vbRed
End With
g_MaxItems = ListView1.ListItems.Count - 1
'and subclass it again
g_addProcOld = SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_WNDPROC, AddressOf WindowProc)
