Is way to Override the Disabled appearance of ListView Control

Hi all,

is it possible for me to override the appearance of the ListView Control when its enabled property is set to False (disabled)

I guess I need to change the colour as when the ListView Control is disabled, its very hard to actually see what value is selected if there are only two entries in the ListView.

Thanks

    No it's not.

    You cannot even select the entries in a listview if its status is disabled. so the question is not existing

    Thanks

    Try this

    Listview.Enabled = false; // Disables listview

    // suppose you want to select the 3rd item in the list view.. . now write

    Listview.Items[2].Selected = true; // This will highlight the 3 rd item as selected ( with blue color) in the listview

    Regards

    Oh sorry. I for some reason thought .Net CF did support this.

    AlexY describes how to make an owner drawn listbox here: http://www.opennetcf.org/PermaLink.aspx guid=d88b1a1a-a866-4247-a0c8-94ab3c124f63.

    If ListView.BackColor doesn't work, you can make it owner drawn.

    Then why I am being given this information :(

    I do not even want to select an item from the disabled ListView.

    What I am asking to see if I can override the backcolour of the ListView when it is in the Disabled state because at the moment in my application when the control is disable and there are two items in the ListView (one of which is selected) and its disabled (I select an item in the ListView then disable it) it is very hard to actually see what the selected item in the ListView is.

    Thanks for the link.

    Is this supported by the Compact Framework, as I can't see any reference to it in the article you provided.

    Thanks

    OK, thanks Lee. I will check it out.

    There's some good information on MSDN about ListView.OwnerDraw at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.ownerdraw.aspx.

  • MannyG09

    Hi Scarlett Lee,

    what do you mean, by 'Make it owner drawn'

    Thanks
