BackColor in Listview Control

[154868]

Hi,

Could anyone advise how to change the .BackColor Property in the MS Listview Control ?
I get always a OLE-Error!

Some Activex have to be handled differently than the base controls of VFP. You can set the backcolor property of the ListView in the Init of the form. Copy the following in a program and run it to see an example.

PUBLIC oform1
oform1=NEWOBJECT("form1")
oform1.Show
RETURN
DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form
	DoCreate = .T.
	Caption = "Form1"
	Name = "Form1"
	ADD OBJECT olecontrol1 AS olecontrol WITH ;
		Top = 24, ;
		Left = 48, ;
		Height = 181, ;
		Width = 253, ;
		Name = "Olecontrol1",;
		OleClass = "MSComctllib.ListviewCtrl.2"
	PROCEDURE Init
		[b]this.olecontrol1.backColor = RGB(255,128,128)[/b]
	ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE

Hi Mike,

sorry, I mean the property of a item (loItem.BACKCOLOR).
the Property FORECOLOR works very well.

This might be an option (I posted this a year ago)

PUBLIC oform1
oform1=CREATEOBJECT("form1")
oform1.Show
RETURN
DEFINE CLASS form1 AS form
    Top = 0
    Left = 0
    Height = 238
    Width = 468
    DoCreate = .T.
    Caption = "Form1"
    Name = "Form1"
   ADD OBJECT list1 AS listbox WITH ;
        RowSourceType = 9, ;
        RowSource = "P_list", ;
        Height = 181, ;
        Left = 60, ;
        Top = 24, ;
        Width = 265, ;
        Name = "List1"
    PROCEDURE Load
        PUBLIC P_list
        DEFINE POPUP P_list
        DEFINE BAR 1 OF P_LIST ;
          PROMPT "Item number 1 of the list";
          FONT "Tahoma",14 style "BI";
          COLOR , RGB(255,255,255,192,0,0)
        DEFINE BAR 2 OF P_LIST ;
          PROMPT "Item number 2 of the list";
          FONT "Tahoma",11 style "B"
        DEFINE BAR 3 OF P_LIST ;
          PROMPT "Item number 3 of the list";
          FONT "Arial",9 style "B";
           COLOR , RGB(255,255,255,192,255,0)
    ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE
