You have to use owner draw items.. Set ListBox's OWNERDRAW style and use CListBox::MeasureItem, CListBox::DrawItem pair to draw your own items.. So you can set any color or font in your list box.. <br />

Hi!<br />
<br />
Check next code:<br />
<br />
&nbsp; CListBox &nbsp; *pCLB;<br />
&nbsp; char &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; szB [256];<br />
<br />
&nbsp; pCLB = (CListBox *) GetDlgItem (IDC_TESTPLACE_LIST); &nbsp;// get List-Box<br />
&nbsp; sprintf (szB, &quot;%s&quot;, MessageText);<br />
&nbsp; if (szB[0] != 0) {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; pCLB-&gt;InsertString(-1, &amp;szB[0]);<br />
&nbsp; }<br />
<br />
Text is now displayed only in black color. How can I set different text colors in CListBox?<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Hi!

Check next code:

  CListBox   *pCLB;
  char       szB [256];

  pCLB = (CListBox *) GetDlgItem (IDC_TESTPLACE_LIST);  // get List-Box
  sprintf (szB, "%s", MessageText);
  if (szB[0] != 0) {
    pCLB->InsertString(-1, &szB[0]);
  }

Text is now displayed only in black color. How can I set different text colors in CListBox?

Thanks
