Question about a listview

Dear experts,

I have a listview on my form and when I press a button the methode
SetAlternateItemColours will be executed. This methode color the rows
of the listview. I like to hang this methode to the event of the listview.
Is that possible? And what event works?

And I like to use the color: $F9F9F9 instead of the WhiteSmoke.

Who knows the solutions and is willing to help me?

Peter

private void button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
            {
         SetAlternateItemColours();
            }

        private void SetAlternateItemColours()
        {
            for (int i = 0; i <= lstvGlucose.Items.Count - 1; i += 1)
            {
                if (i % 2 == 0)
                {
                    lstvGlucose.Items[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
                }
                else
                {
                    lstvGlucose.Items[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.WhiteSmoke;
                }
            }
        }

                {
                    lstvGlucose.Items[i].BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.White;
                }
                else
                {
                    lstvGlucose.Items[i].BackColor = #F9f9f9;

Ah, thanks AterMentis. your the best.

I have onle little question left. The points are yours anyway.
Is it possible to set the methode SetAlternateItemColours as an listview event.
If its possible, What event should I use.

Peter

AterMentis

There's no such event, however you can assign colors upon adding items in your code or execute a function that will do so after items are added.

An easier path would be using the DataGridView which has the Alternating Rows function built in.
