Change color of an item in a listbox

[Renato]

Does anyone know how to show a listbox with different colors on its
itens?

Here goes what I've been trying to do:

On Page_OnLoad event I fill the dropdownlist and then I perform a FOR
to read this dropdownlist to change the color of some items in it but
this doesn't seem to work.
The line below is what I tried to use to perform this action but it
didn't work out

cbxCountry.Items(intPos).Attributes.CssStyle.Add(" color", "red")

Thanks in advance for any help about this.

Hi Renato,
This is a known bug with dropdownlist server control.I guess this is a
bug with Listbox server control as well.
In that case you need to use html control and make it runat="server".
So use,
<SELECT id="listBox1" size="20" runat="server"></SELECT>and add color
attribute for each item..
Hope this helps.
