Changing text colours in list box

[ltfcphil]

Hi,
Can any one help me please, with a VB2005 express problem....

When writing to a list box, I need to have some lines in a different colour from others. I have tried using selection thus:

If condition listbox1.forecolour = color. red else listbox1.forecolor = color.black

but it doesn't work. This chooses and sets the colour for the first entry, all subsequent ones are then the same.

Any ideas?

Thanks Phil

I think you'll find that any property such as this which is defined for the listbox will apply to all entries, not a specific one. Unless VB2005 Express is quite different to VB6 (which it is :)) I believe you will need to check out "subclassing" to achieve what you want.
