What Kind of Box is This???

[Richardv2]

I saw a program with a (listBox, comboBox, richTextBox, ???) box that
had different lines and colors.

Line 1 blue
Lines 2-5 red
Line 6 green, etc.
and graphic check-marks of different colors.
....with the standard gray adjustable column headings at the top.

Could someone point me to the box type and how to do this?

Forgive me, but my mind can't make since of your description. Do you
have a screen shot of this app I could look at?

Thanks,

Could be a listbox or a datagrid or a datagridview (or custom/3rd party?).

Any screenshots?

Take a look at the ListView control.

Now here's a novel idea: Why not try to mail the application manufacturer
and ask?

Take a look at the ListView control.

Yes, I saw how to change the background or put a bitmap in the
background, but not how to change the color of the printed characters
for each line.

I did find a rather long code listing that will send a string of any
color to the next line of a list box, so this seems to be what was
done.

I did. I just thought that the developer might consider it propriatary
or secret and might not respond. I guess you are saying you don't know
how it is done either, but thank you for the tip.

Take a look at the type used to represent the items: 'ListViewItem' (and its
'ForeColor', 'BackColor', and 'UseItemStyleForSubItems' properties).

I think that's doable with the ListView...

[Ravichandran J.V.]

In WPF, any control can act as a container control. Eg., a button can
host a movie, a checkbox etc. Have you checked if it is a .net 3.0 app?
