How can I make some items in a ListBox bold?

Question

In Visual c# Express Edition, is it possible to make some (but not all) items in a ListBox bold? I can\'t find any sort of option for this in the API.

Answer 1

Make the selected item bold

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();

        ListBox1.Items.AddRange(new Object[] { "me", "myself", "bob"});

        // set the draw mode to fixed
        ListBox1.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed;
    }

    private void ListBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
    {
        // draw the background
        e.DrawBackground();

        // get the font
        Font font = new Font(e.Font, (e.State & DrawItemState.Selected) == DrawItemState.Selected ? FontStyle.Bold : FontStyle.Regular);

        // draw the text
        e.Graphics.DrawString(ListBox1.Items[e.Index].ToString(), font, new SolidBrush(ListBox1.ForeColor), e.Bounds);

        e.DrawFocusRectangle();
    }
}
