I am trying to change the BackColor of an item but when I run this code, it
doesn't change

ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Item(4).BackColor =
Drawing.Color.SpringGreen



What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Gary
 
Can you show me where to set this? I don't understand where to use it. I
tried the following

ListView1.Items(currentRow).UseItemStyleForSubItems = True

and it doesn't work.
 
Here is the code I have


ListView1.Items.Add(myreader.Item("ProductID"))
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Add(myreader.Item("ProductName"))
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Add(myreader.Item("UnitsInStock"))
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Add(myreader.Item("UnitsOnOrder"))
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Add(myreader.Item("ReorderLevel"))
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Add(myreader.Item("Discontinued"))
'
******************************************************************
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).UseItemStyleForSubItems =
True
'
******************************************************************
If myreader.GetInt16(UNITS_INSTOCK_COLUMN) <= _
myreader.GetInt16(REORDERLEVEL_COLUMN) And _
myreader.GetInt16(UNITS_ONORDER_COLUMN) = 0 And _
myreader.GetBoolean(DISCONTINUED_COLUMN) = False Then
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Item( _
UNITS_INSTOCK_COLUMN).ForeColor = Color.White
ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).SubItems.Item( _
UNITS_INSTOCK_COLUMN).BackColor = Color.DarkRed

If you can tell me the exact syntax that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I think he meant to set it to False. The default value is True. So instead
of:

ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).UseItemStyleForSubItems = True

you should do:

ListView1.Items.Item(currentRow).UseItemStyleForSubItems = False

I think you need to set it before you add the subitems - after the line:
ListView1.Items.Add(myreader.Item("ProductID"))

But I'm not sure if you *absolutely* have to set it before adding the
subitems. Ofcourse, the above will definitely work.


hope that helps..
Imran.
 
Thanks for your help. It worked.
