How to change the backcolor of a listview subitem using its own value?

As far as I can tell, the code you have looks fine. I just threw together a quick Windows Forms application and tossed a ListView on the form with two columns in detail view. The following code works fine.

As far as I can tell, the code you have looks fine. I just threw together a quick Windows Forms application and tossed a ListView on the form with two columns in detail view. The following code works fine.

Var item1 = new ListViewItem( "Item 1"); item1.SubItems. Add( "Color" ); item1. SubItems1.

BackColor = Color. FromArgb( -16711936 ); item1. UseItemStyleForSubItems = false; listView1.Items.

Add( item1 ); I would try setting the BackColor before you add the item. It also looks like you're setting all the items to the same color which is probably not what you want.

Yes, That is my problem. – Rye Aug 25 '10 at 2:42 Got it! Thank you.

Take a look at these links: C# ListView Detail, ghlight a single cell Changing color of list view cell using C# (has a working solution) The key point is to set this: listView1. Items0. UseItemStyleForSubItems = false; Do this: foreach (DataRow dr in _dataTbl.

Rows) { _markOW = dr"Mark".ToString(); _stock = dr"Stock".ToString(); _SteelSectio = dr"SteelSection".ToString(); _colo = (Int32)dr"Color"; ListViewItem _lvi = new ListViewItem(_markOW); _lvi.SubItems. AddRange(new string {_SteelSectio,_stock,_colo.ToString()}); _lvi. UseItemStyleForSubItems = false; _lvi.

SubItems2. BackColor = Color. FromArgb(_colo); _myListView.Items.

Add(_lvi); }.

The second link you have posted is the one I use a while ago. But the problem with that, is that the last value set in the variable _colo will be the back color of the column. – Rye Aug 25 '10 at 2:40 1 @Rye that's because you are setting them all the to same color, _colo.

Take a look at my example and my note at the end. You should set the BackColor before you add the item. – Josh Einstein Aug 25 '10 at 2:43 Got it.

Thank you. – Rye Aug 25 '10 at 2:49 Yes that's the revised code that I did and it worked! – Rye Aug 25 '10 at 2:52 UseItemStyleForSubItems -- that's the key to getting the background color change on the subitems -- thanks, this really helped!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
