List Box colours 1

[chrisperkins]

Is it possible to have a list box and then have certain rows highlighted in another colour or would I have to use a 3rd party control like msflexgrid?

Chris,


Unfortunately, you are correct there is no way to get the rows of a listbox hightlighted with different colors using the default list box control.

I have seen ActiveX controls that are enchanced listboxes that will do this and as you have already mentioned the flex grid provides this type of feature.

Thanks for all the replies and the links.

How do I go about registering the msflexgrid. How much does it cost and where do I get it from???

Dear Chris,

You could write your own simple replacement for a list box.

1) Create a subform that will display your multi record list and use conditional formating.

2) Now place the subform into your main form, where the list box should/would be and you get a basic multi colored list box substitute.

Good Luck,
Hap...

Alternatively you could use the activex ListView.. free with M$ Access..

Its relatively easy to code, and you can control the colour of your text etc...

Might be a solution?

I have a database that shows a listbox with different colors in it, also creates associated report for each format, created by a Kevin Gray. If you'd like a copy, email fneily@hotmail.com
