In WinForms (Vb.Net / Framework 3.5), I've created a BindableListView control that has a DataSource property that accepts IDataReader's, DataTable's, Array's, Generic Lists and Single objects. I also added the ability to alternate colors when the data is bound to the ListView (I put in sorting also by default with support for numeric & date time). What I have not been able to figure out yet is how to change the selected item's color from the System color (without changing the system color which I don't want to do). I've used the ItemSelectionChanged and SelectedIndexChanged to change the BackColor of the ListViewItem but the selected color always overrides the BackColor (HideSelection doesn't work because it only does that when the control loses focus). My question, Is there a way to change the selected items color (without drawing it myself)?
I've turned the web upside down looking for a way to do this.The only thing I found(although I couldn't get it to work) was the example from the documentation, and it's more code than there is in my program to begin with.
There has to be a simply method of changing the BackColor of the selected item in the ListView details view.I know it's selected when you click on it, and you can press the up/down arrow keys and it'll scroll through the items.
I just want to change the backcolor from the default dark blue to something else, with a line or two of code.
I am attempting to setup a DataGridView on a form so that the row under the mouse is highlighted. I've got that working with the following, except the currently selected row will not highlight on MouseEnter.
The forms contains 4 separate DataGridView and the only row that is highlighted should be the one under the mouse cursor.[code]...

I am trying to change the forecolor and backcolor of the column headers in a ListView and I have been able to change the background color; however, now the text has disappeared (the text that shows up in the column headers). How do I go about specifying Color.Argb(193, 218, 248) as the text color? Please advise as I have searched all night online and have not been successful as of yet.

I have refereed the Colored List Box codebank entry by tassa. Using this i face a problem, whenever the listbox looses the focus, the selected item backcolor is changed to white.How should i make the listbox to keep the backcolor.
I'd like to use the BackColor of a Listview SubItem as a Progressbar. I know that I need to draw the SubItems myself, but I'm having two small problems with this.
1) How can I create a function to set the width (percentage) of the BackColor?
vb.net Private Sub SetProgress(ByVal lv As ListViewItem, ByVal Percentage As Integer, ByVal Text As String) ' ?
In the screenshot, you can see where the BackColor is set for each item added to the ListView on the right. How can I fill the white space between the columns as well? I'm assuming the column width is the highlighted portion plus the white space. I thought setting the BackColor would fill this whole portion so that there essentially would be no white space at all showing anywhere in the listview (except maybe at the bottom). Is there a Property I need to set to do this? the listview has 1 column and it's autoresize property is set to CellContent.
I'm building an app that is a basic daytimer type of app. My problem is that I can't get the textbox(Textbox1) backcolor and text to change when I need it to. For instance, if there are events for January 12 and the user clicks on the Jan 12 link in the Calendar control, if there are any events in the SQL table for that day it should populate the appropriate times. The funny, or not so funny, thing is that I have another textbox named "TheEvent" that I can change the backcolor and text on with the code below and it works fine.[code]...
I have a problem with changing the color of a button (in vb.net). I have searched the web and plenty of people are willing to tell me HOW TO change the color but my problem is - it doesn't. I say it doesn't, it does when it has finished the rest of the code in the Sub. Can anyone furnish me with an explanation please as to why it doesn't happen when I ask? I'm using Visual Studio 2008

I have a databound combo box column. When a value in another field starts with an 8, I want to make the combo box read-only and turn the background gray so the user knows it is read-only.

If MyDataGridView.Rows.Count > 1 Then For Each orow As DataGridViewRow In MyDataGridView.Rows Console.WriteLine("DK {0}", orow.Index)[code]......
When I change the BackColor for a Form, and then add new buttons, they have by default the same BackColor as the Form itself. That does not show on my Windows 7 development computer, but when I use the program on an XP machine, all buttons appear the same color as the form.
I correct this by changing the button's BackColor property to ButtonFace, but it is a pain to do it all the time and some times it gets past me and a wrong color button goes into the application.
Is there a way to change how this works so all buttons are placed with ButtonFace BackColor by default?
I have searched the web and not found a good resolution for this problem in vb.net. When you change a color in the controls property it does not respond with the color changes.
I have several list boxes on a form, the items collection is filled at design time and the selectedIndex is changed at run time. when I change the SelectedIndex the backcolor of the control changes. I don't want this to happen.
