Default implementation for ListView OwnerDraw

Question

I have a ListView where I wish to tweak the drawing of items (for example highlighting certain strings in list view itmes), however I don\'t want to radically alter the way

Answer 1

Item selected back color changed. In by default blue in windows. This code will help for u in any colors:

    private void listView1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawListViewItemEventArgs e)
    {
        e.DrawBackground(); 
         if (e.Item.Selected) 
        {
            e.Graphics.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.FromArgb(250, 194, 87)), e.Bounds); 
        } 
        e.Graphics.DrawString(e.Item.Text, new Font("Arial", 10), new SolidBrush(Color.Black), e.Bounds); 

    }

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int ix = 0; ix < listView1.Items.Count; ++ix)
        {
            var item = listView1.Items[ix];
            item.BackColor = (ix % 2 == 0) ? Color.Gray : Color.LightGray;

        }

    }

    private void listView1_DrawColumnHeader(object sender, DrawListViewColumnHeaderEventArgs e)
    {
        e.DrawDefault = true;
    }

    }
}
