CListCtrl: change color of a single row

[Eric Keefer]

I'd like to change maintain black text on most of the rows of my CListCtrl
but would like to have a line or two display in red. Is this possible?

Yes. You will need to handle the NM_CUSTOMDRAW message. Here is an
example:

void CHMListCtrl::OnNotifyCustomDraw(NMHDR* pNMHDR, LRESULT* pResult)
{
//process the new custon draw message
NMCUSTOMDRAW &nmDraw = nmCustomDraw->nmcd;

DWORD DrawStage = nmDraw.dwDrawStage;

switch (DrawStage)
{
case CDDS_PREPAINT:
//activate painting
retval = CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW |
CDRF_NOTIFYPOSTPAINT;
break;
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
{
if (/* something is true*/)
{
// Set the text color to red
nmCustomDraw->clrText = RGB(255,0,0);
}//if

else if (/* something else is true*/)
{
// Make the font bold
// m_Font is a member of CMyListCtrl
// and is the same as the regular
// font, but bold
HFONT hf = HFONT(m_Font);

HDC dc = nmDraw.hdc;
HGDIOBJ Oldhf= ::SelectObject(dc,hf);

retval |= CDRF_NEWFONT;
}//else if

break;
}//case
}//switch
}//OnNotifyCustomDraw
