VB.NET - Multi-colored listbox

[woklet]

I'm programatically adding items to my listbox in vb.net and would like to change the color of a line to red if its an 'important' item. Does anyone have any code snippets on how to change the color of a particular line in a listbox; or upon adding it if there is a way to set the color?

 

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks

This is when intellisense, the object browser, or MSDN could come in handy.

 

YourListItem.BackColor = Color.Red
'OR
YourListItem.ForeColor = Color.Red

Thanks for the quick response!

 

Here is my code...

 

myListBox.Items.Add("Hello World")

myListBox.Items.Add("Hello World1")

myListBox.Items.Add("Hello World2")

myListBox.Items.Add("Hello World3")

 

Me.myListBox.Items(1).foreColor = color.Red

 

Here is the error I get...

An unhandled exception of type 'System.MissingMemberException' occurred in microsoft.visualbasic.dll

 

Additional information: Public member 'foreColor' on type 'String' not found.

 

I know...I'm probably doing something really dumb; but I still can't get it to work. Any thoughts...

 

Thanks

Ben

Ahhh, nevermind...

 

I just found the listview control. Does everything I need. Thanks anyway though, gang.
