GWT listbox text color, selection

[kevinSC]

is there a way to change the text color of individual elements in a
listbox? also, is there a way to set an element in the listbox NOT
selectable?

the listbox doesn't provide the level of detail to change the style on
an individual element or to make individual items unselectable. you
can set a style for the selected item.

it sounds like you'll need to extend the listbox and add your own
functionality to accomplish what you're trying to do.

You CAN set styles on individual option elements and it works fine in
Firefox and, I think, most other browsers except IE6.

how do you set the styles on individual elements?

Actually figured out the solution I was looking for. 

This will iterate through all of the items in a ListBox, changing the items font color to red. 

ListBox listBox = new ListBox();

// Assuming a bunch of items were added to listBox....

SelectElement selectElement = SelectElement.as(listBox.getElement());

NodeList<OptionElement> options = selectElement.getOptions();

for (int i = 0; i < options.getLength(); i++) {

     options.getItem(i).getStyle().setColor("#FF0000");

}

It can be changed using listBox.setStyleName();

Can anyone answer this question? I'm looking to change the font color of individual items within a ListBox.
