how to add color to sub item in listview? c#

Question

I tried to add text color to any sub item in the listview by the index that the method get from the array

for (int i = 0; i < sizes.Length; ++i)
            {
                if (sizes[i] == 1)
                {
                    Item.SubItems.Add("In Stock");
                }
                else if (sizes[i] == 0)
                {
                    Item.SubItems.Add("Out Of Stock");
                }
                else if (sizes[i] == 2)
                {
                    Item.SubItems.Add("Less Than 3");
                }
                else if (sizes[i] == 5)
                {
                    Item.SubItems.Add("Less Than 5");
                }
                else if (sizes[i] == 10)
                {
                    Item.SubItems.Add("Less Than 10");
                }
            }

            ProductListView.Items.Add(Item);
        }

if the size in stock the subitem color change to green and if the size is out of stock the subitem color will change to red

thanks

The Add method returns the subItem,
So you can change the subItem color like this:

var subItem = Item.SubItems.Add("In Stock");
subItem.ForeColor = Color.Green;
// subItem.BackColor = Color.Red;

Don't forget to turn off `UseItemStyleForSubItems` for each item! – TaW Mar 26 '17 at 15:15
Thanks for the `itemUser.UseItemStyleForSubItems = false;` option! The color can still be assigned like this `itemUser.SubItems.Add("Text", System.Drawing.Color.Empty, System.Drawing.Color.Blue, null);` – KUL Dec 09 '21 at 23:49
