ListDialog : Change the color of particular lines

[ssimop]

I wonder whether there has been any contribution regarding coloring of a particular line in ListDialog. Thanks in advance.

No. It is possible, because it is a standard SysListView32 control that supports custom draw, and examples can be found, for example with QM_Grid control. But need to create a copy of ListDialog. Or subclass the dialog. I will not give an example, but can advise if you'll try.

Many thanks Gintaras for your reply. I have already made a copy of ListDialog and I am working on it. I will also ask for your invaluable assistance if needed. Best regards.

I came-up with the following solution, which it works :

1. In messages 3
case NM_CUSTOMDRAW
ret DT_Ret(hDlg sub.TvCustomdraw(+nh 171))
where 171 is the color code in this example

2. Passing the color paramater in TvCustomdraw :

#sub TvCustomdraw
function# NMTVCUSTOMDRAW*cd int'col

out cd.nmcd.dwDrawStage
out col

sel cd.nmcd.dwDrawStage
case CDDS_PREPAINT ret CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW ;;yes, notify me to draw items
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT
cd.clrText=col


I wonder whether there exists a simpler way to pass the color parameter into TvCustomdraw.

Thanks for any advice.

The routine, as finally modified, is attached herewith.

thanks for work on this. I am trying to use sample but errors on unknown identifiers ideb and NowT.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Thank you for your interest. They are local variables and functions used by me for debugging purposes. You may ignore them. I will upload a new version, first thing tomorrow morning, without any annoying stuff. Best regards. Simos.
