Set Listview Item's Background Color From A String?
Dec 21, 2009
I'm kind of stuck on this one, and i know it's going to be something simple, but I just can't come up with the solution. I want to be able to assign a background color for each item in a listview with a predefined string or other variable type, so when item's are added to the listview and they contain a specific string, the background color for that item will be changed to the predefined color which is stored in a string (or other variable). When I attempt to change the background color of the listview item using a string ie. "Blue" I get an error.[code]....

i have a listbox that contains the words "week1", "week2",all the way up to "week52" and when i select a week from the listbox it will retrieve a value from a mysql database that will represent a progress bar value. my progress bar has a range of 0-120 and i would like to have all the weeks that have values higher than 100 to be highlighted or marked somehow, in the listbox. so my question is, "is there a way to set the background color of certain weeks in the listbox to orange based on the value that they represent on the database?
for example for "week1", the value is 114, so when the listbox loads, i want the background color of the item "week1" in the list to be orange (indicating that it's current value is higher than 100)? i know that this requires me to implement a user defined drawing function for the listbox items but i dont know where i would even start. i would like this to be somewhat automatic so that it checks the values and changes the background colors of any value higher than 100, instead of me specifying a name of the item.

I know that this has been asked alot on the internet and i've searched for it, but can't find any good thread/page about it.What i wanna do is:I have a listview where the user can add items to. But i want the user to able to choose backgroundcolor.The only option i can find is ForeColor, and it does nearly what i want, it colors all text on the row the user add. But as I said I want it to color the background of the row, not the text.

I'm not really sure about how to do this.

I'm writing an application to help manage an employee database. It displays the current entries in a ListView control using the SELECT FROM sql string and allows entry into the database using the INSERT INTO sql string. What I want to do is have the user select an item from the listview and be able to delete it from the database. How I'm trying to go about it is by detecting when the user presses 'Delete'. When they do, the program gets the string value of the item, hands it off to a variable, and the variable goes into a DELETE FROM sql string and deletes the row in the database.
I have multiselect disabled in the control so only 1 selection is possible at a time. I don't know how to detect the Delete key or how to get the string value of a listview item into a variable. If I know how to do these two things, I can work out the rest of the application. I'm still kinda new at this kind of stuff, so any responses will have to be dumbed down a little.

how can i select an item in the listview from a string. ex.i'm loading the listview w/c: directory folders and i have a checkbox to show or hide hidden folders. no problems there.the problem is when i click an item in the listview and check or uncheck the checkbox, the listview reloads w/a new set of items.
i already have a string to get the selected item before reloading the listview, but i cannot seem to figure out how to select that same item in the listview.

I want the background of my form to be the same color as the window frame color that the user selects, even if that changes. I selected System->WindowFrame as my background color, but it always remains a dark grey, regardless of what I have my window color set to. How else would I achieve what I want? I assumed I was doing it the correct way. Do I actually need code that gets the system window color and then apply it?

what I am trying to accomplish worked with the code in the last thread I posted a while back. I still am using this code, however, I changed the window size to work better and gave it a nicer background for the title screen of my project. Now what I am working on at the moment is making a settings form that has 2 labels. One for "Default" Layout and one for "Plain" layout. When default is at start, the default label is disabled,and when plain layout is clicked, the button is disabled and default button is enabled.Basically, this is a toggle switch for default or plain where if one is enabled, the option for it is disabled and the other is enabled.My problem is that when I switch from Plain back to default, the background Image will not switch back from the plain background color of "control"Here is my code:
Public Class Settings
Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles LinkLabel1.LinkClicked

Ok, so I have a listview on one form, and when a button is pressed it opens up a new form with the contents of the selected listview item and it's subitems in a series of textboxes. The user can then change the data in the textboxes and either press save to make the changes or cancel to close the window. What command would I use to change the selected listview item and subitems to whatever is in the boxes?
this is the code that populates the boxes:
Private Sub Form_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim appeditcontents As String = main.passlist.SelectedItems(0).ToString
