SYSK 109: Is it possible to change the ForeColor of a SubItem in a ListView?
The other day I came across the question above at http://www.codecomments.com/archive293-2004-7-244806.html, which did not provide the way to accomplish the desired effect. The answer is – yes, you can. Here is how you might go above doing it in .NET 2.0 (key lines of code in bold):
public class Employee
{
private string _name;
private int _id;
private string _department;
public Employee(string name, int id, string department)
{
_name = name;
_id = id;
_department = department;
}
public string Name
{
get { return _name; }
}
public int ID
{
get { return _id; }
}
public string Department
{
get { return _department; }
}
public string[] Data
{
get { return new string[] { _name, _id.ToString(), _department }; }
}
}
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Employee e1 = new Employee("Irena Kennedy", 12345, "IT");
Employee e2 = new Employee("Mike Smith", 23456, "Sales");
this.listView1.Columns.Add("Name");
this.listView1.Columns.Add("ID");
this.listView1.Columns.Add("Department");
this.listView1.View = View.Details;
this.listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(e1.Data));
this.listView1.Items.Add(new ListViewItem(e2.Data));
this.listView1.OwnerDraw = true;
this.listView1.DrawItem += new DrawListViewItemEventHandler(listView1_DrawItem);
this.listView1.DrawColumnHeader += new DrawListViewColumnHeaderEventHandler(listView1_DrawColumnHeader);
this.listView1.DrawSubItem += new DrawListViewSubItemEventHandler(listView1_DrawSubItem);
}
private void listView1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawListViewItemEventArgs e)
{
e.DrawDefault = false;
}
private void listView1_DrawColumnHeader(object sender, DrawListViewColumnHeaderEventArgs e)
{
e.DrawDefault = true;
}
private void listView1_DrawSubItem(object sender, DrawListViewSubItemEventArgs e)
{
if (e.ColumnIndex == 2)
{
if (e.SubItem.Text == "IT")
e.SubItem.ForeColor = Color.Red;
}
}
}
