How do I tell which box of the list-view it's coloring & handle the WM_CTLCOLOR* message accordingly?

For example:


How can I color Item 1 red, Item 2 orange, Item 3 yellow, and so on?

Some examples of getting it done:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/list/CColorListCtrl.aspx
http://www.developer.com/net/cplus/article.php/637411/Personalizing-Highlight-Colors-Through-Custom-Draw.htm

First one is MFC but, you should be able to pick out the important pieces (since MFC is just wrappers anyway).

Thanks.

Next, do you know how I could color the box partially?

Basically I saw a trainer where the HP bar was in a list-view and it colored the percentage of health remaining; it looked very cool.

EDIT: Also, do you know how to change the text color? Neither of those articles covered that Sad
EDIT 2: I am raged. I hate owner-drawing.

Look into subclassing and drawing controls inside of other controls. You can use a progress bar to draw inside a Listviews table cells.

Personally I have never done it, but if it is like other controls you will need to use the WM_COLORCTLxxxxxxx events. (Not sure if that's the exact name, but it should be similar to that for them.) Which you can find various information regarding how to use those.
