Change colors for selected item in listbox

1 New Member
Using Access 2003, the selected item in listbox has backColor black and foreColor white. Ugly and hard to read. Any way to change these settings for ONLY the selected item using VB?

I realise this is almost certainly not what you're looking for, but if you can't fix the item-colour issue, you may be able to at least alleviate the strain on your own eyes in the control panel's Display settings. The "Selected Items" colour setting sounds as though it might be the one of most interest.

I have 3 radio buttons for include, exclued or 'select all' from the listbox items. If a user selects the 'Select All' button' then all items in listbox is hi-lited as selected. Now, when user selects one item out of the 'all selected' listing then there is now only one item selected. How and where can I put in some code to change the selected radio button to the 'include' since it is no longer in select all mode. Thanks, Alpha

Hello all, I am trying to go through a ListBox and verify if am item was selected. If an item was selected, I would like to get a handle of the item and simply do a response.write on the selected handle. The issue that I am facing is that I am going each item, but my code does not catch the selected item. Can anyone please take a look at the code and let me know what I am doing wrong.

Hi! I'm using a standard server side ASP.Net listbox control on a web form. The page is basically various shades of green. The listbox itself has a pale green background and forest green text and a forest green border. However, when you move the cursor from one item to the next within the listbox or you click on an item in the listbox to select it, the background turns to the standard windows dark blue with white letters. Well, that...

Is the following a correct representation of the relationship of the selected index to selected item: INDEX ITEM 0 "item 1" 1 "item 2" 2 "item 3" and so on. I keep getting the same string for selected index 0 and 1; i.e. both are "item 1". I'm new to C# and not exactly an accomplished programmer. Any suggestions?

Is it possible to selectivly change the color of an item in text. I saw ForeColor option, but it changes the color of all the items. If it is not possible, is there any other control list listbox where we can see more than one item and change the color during run time. Thanks.

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,...
