ListBox selection

When my focus exits a ListBox, I want the selection to fade to gray
like it does with the PropertiesGrid. Any idea how to make the ListBox
do that? I have several on screen and it is ambiguous as to which one
actually has the focus at the moment.

Set its DrawMode property to OwnerDrawFixed and override its DrawItem event.

MSDN has a sample in ListBox.DrawItem section.
