Listview Item / Subitem Background Colour

Impressive. Great job

Bah!

Never factored that I have multiple Listviews in my gui.  This tries to apply the colours to listviews which are different and subsequently crashes.

Tried to first check if the correct tab was active in WM_NOTIFY, but the WM_NOTIFY function appears to be actioned before the tab appears and I can get the text from it.

EDIT:

Never mind, answer >here.

Just need ti implement it in my code.

Strange, I had no crash.

Sorry, I know this is old thread but as I am trying out @LarsJ code so asking here.

@LarsJ

Is there any other way to color ListView specific cell if logic is true. Without using DllStruct.
I don’t understand DllStructucture logic properly & in my case Array size is no to big [30][15].
So can it be done using GUICtrlSetBkColor or _GUICtrlListView_CreateSolidBitMap?

The custom draw technique is the great, right, flexible and fast way to apply colors in a listview. Read about DllStruct in the help file and just ask more questions if you have any doubts.

@LarsJ

ok I get it how to color listview but
No I didnt get it how DllStruct work 😂.

I use @mikell code to understand how it work.
