Clistctrl item text color

Question

How do you change the text color of a Clistctrl item (report view)?

Answer 1

You need to handle the NM_CUSTOMDRAW message and change the text color in that handler.

For an example, see this article.

Answer 2

I would implement a CMFCListCtrl derived class and override the OnGetCellTextColor method. Things are much easier this way than with custom draws.
