wxListBox SetBackground problem

[evstevemd]

Hi buddies,
I'm facing some issues with wxListBox::SetBackgroundColour problem.
I get something weird like this:

http://wxforum.shadonet.com/attachments/lb_error_954.png

//Add some data here (wxArrayString --myPages )
wxListBox* lb = new wxListBox(this, wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition,
wxDefaultSize, myPages, wxBORDER_NONE|wxALIGN_CENTER);
lb->SetBackgroundColour(wxT("gold"));

I don't know where I'm doing wrong.
Any correction/suggestion is appreciated.
thanks

Under which platform and wx version? What about reproducibility in the
widgets sample (with "Set background" on the "Listbox" page)?

Sorry for late reply,
I use CodeLite bundled wxWidgets so I have to download samples and
compile.
Info:
wxWidgets 2.8.10 (Comes bundled with CL)
OS: WinXP SP3

I will try samples, first let me download and compile them

Here is a little funny thing and I think I mess up somewhere haven't
yet realized.
When I insert wxArrayString directly on constructor, the scenario
happens.
However, If I call Set(wxArrayString) it acts normal.

Here is modified wxSample Constructor to produce the weird results. I
will stick with Set() but I want to know where I'm doing wrong

Thanks

<CODE>
wxString test[] =
{wxT("1"),wxT("2"),wxT("3"),wxT("4"),wxT("5"),wxT("6"),wxT("7")};
wxArrayString bookPages = wxArrayString(7, test);

m_lbox = new wxListBox(m_panel,
wxID_ANY, wxDefaultPosition,
wxDefaultSize,
bookPages,
wxBORDER_NONE|wxALIGN_CENTER);

</CODE>

Further isolation shows that something is wrong with wxALIGN_CENTER
style
How can I arrange then wxLB items in center? When I apply the style,
they get centered but again the behavior above creeps in.
I'm confused

This style is not supported by wxListBox. Actually when you use it, you
specify wxLB_OWNERDRAW | wxLB_INT_HEIGHT and I guess the former is what
creates the problem (it's for internal use by wxCheckListBox only and
shouldn't be used in the code).

e> How can I arrange then wxLB items in center?

You'll need to use a different control for this (wxListCtrl,
wxHtmlListBox, ...).

Thanks Vadim,
I guess I will have to live without it.
Thanks a lot
