Is way to Override the Disabled appearance of ListView Control

• rolandpish

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

  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.

  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

  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.

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

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

  Thanks

  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
