Listview with background picture

I have problems with ListView-control because of its GridLines bug in
Windows XP.

I created a function that creates a bitmap which presents those grid lines.
Then I set this image to ListView's BackgroundImage . The grid line bug is
fixed now but this creates an another problem.

While having a background image, list view won't show list item's backcolor
if it's set.

For example:

Listview1.Backg roundImage=MyBi tmap
Listview1.Items (2).Backcolor=C olors.Red

That red background won't be seen. Any ideas how to show that backcolor and
have background image at the same time?

Thanks for your answer,
Teemu

Yeah, paint the background yourself. Shouldn't be too difficult to
calculate the dimensions, color w/transparency, and calling the
Graphics.DrawRe ctangle, you should be able to do it :)

Hi, All. I have problems with a listview control. Hopefully, I am at the right usergroup, otherwise, I apologize. Now, I'm finishing off a project where the main interface is a tree view an two listviews. I would really like to complete my design with a background image on the main listview, but I cannot get it to work. I have been checking out some samples and tutorials, but they all

We have C# 2005 multi-threaded app. A background thread is processing data and periodically updating the contents of a ListView. Sometimes, the user clicking on a ListView item will not select the item (in the MouseClick event, ListView.SelectedItems.Count = 0). Initially we assumed it was because the background thread was in the process of updating the ListView. However, breaking on the first line of the MouseClick event reveals...

Hola Foro!, tengo una rutina que permite agregar varios elementos o items de una sola vez en un ListView. Lo que sucede es que en el momento que se añaden los items al ListView se pone todo blanco, cuando se terminan de agregar los items vuelve a su estado normal. Como impido que esto suceda ?. Gracias Mil.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
