Brent...

It's pretty trivial to do this your self. Just set the
listbox's DrawMode property to DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed (or
DrawMode.OwnerDrawVariable if you want to make items of various sizes)
and then catch the DrawItem event.

There is a simple example int he docs of handling this event:

Why not use a ListView control instead?
