How to add items with different color in ListBox control?This code for example change the colors of all items in the ListBox.
Obviously i do not want that.
CODE

this.listBox1.DrawItem += new DrawItemEventHandler(this.DrawItemHandler);

   private void DrawItemHandler(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
        {
            e.DrawBackground();
            e.DrawFocusRectangle();
            e.Graphics.DrawString(someString,
                                  new Font(FontFamily.GenericSansSerif,
                                           8, FontStyle.Bold),
                                           new SolidBrush(tColor),e.Bounds);
        }

How to achieve what i want?AFAIK i should remove e.Bounds and play with e.Index or something...but don't know what to do exactly.Thanks in advance.

You are already doing it here: new SolidBrush(tColor)
change the colour associated with tColor and you will change the colour the text is displayed as.
