Change color to Listview column item

Question

Is it possible to change color of a specific item for specific column in Listview ?

Answer 1

Given a ListView named ListView1.

If you know the name of the column you want to change, then try this:

foreach(ListViewItem theItem in ListView1)
{
    if(theItem.Text == "Column Name")
    {
        theItem.ForeColor = Color.Red;

        // You also have access to the list view's SubItems collection
        theItem.SubItems[0].ForeColor = Color.Blue;
    }
}

Note: Obviously Column Name is made up and you would need to substitute the real column name. Also, Color.Red is made up and you can substitute whatever color you want.

Answer 2

As you haven't mentioned what you want to change so Below is the example to change backcolor and forecolor of a specific subitem in listview

 item1.SubItems[1].BackColor = Color.Yellow;
 item1.SubItems[1].ForeColor= Color.Yellow;

You can specify your own subitem by column name.
