Hi All,

I have a dialog based app consisting of a List box. I want to change the color of the entries that I add to the list box. Is it possible? How?

Thanks a lot

Azad

as far as i know the only way is to subclass the listbox control window and handle messages like WM_CTLCOLOR yourself. maybe you will have to do even the drawing yourself
