Subclassing for VB6 Listview?

[jpbrassard]

I'm trying to find a way to change the BackColor of individual ListItems in the VB6 ListView control. There's no provided way to do it through the control itself - you can change the backcolor of the entire control, or the forecolor of individual ListItems, but not the backcolor for individual ListItems.

So, yeah, it's going to require subclassing, right? Does anyone have any code that shows how to do what I'm asking? I've been scouring the 'net all day and haven't really come up with anything yet. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
jp

Theoretically you could do this by drawing into the picture property of the listview. But you would need to update your drawing each time the list was scrolled.
