Any 3rd part List Controls allow colored items.

[Guest]

I need to differentiate between items in a list box. I thought color is a
good technique. Anybody doing it?

Thanks. Looks great but way too many features and too expensive for the
feature I need.

You cannot apply Conditional Formatting to individual lines of the
standard Combo control. As you mentioned, you can simulate the separate
grouping design desired by the use of seperation lines, extra space
characters, etc..
A sample MDB is here:

Another possible solution using "space" or other characters to format
individual rows is here:

Alternatively, you might consider using a SubForm in Continuous or
Datasheet view. Conditional formatting is supported in these form view.
