I use buttons to populate my listview, and I was wondering if it's possible to have items different colors.
I've tried this several ways, and it always ends up changing all the items color in the listview. Here's
one of my attempts, but it changes all the items when I click the button to add a new one. Have a feeling
it might not even be possible to have different items different colors.

		ListView1.ForeColor = Color.DarkGreen

Thanks

Create a new ListViewItem item for each entry. You the can alter the properties of each item.
For Example

 Dim a As New System.Windows.Forms.ListViewItem("B")
  a.BackColor = Color.LightBlue
  a.ForeColor = Color.Red
  Me.ListView1.Items.Add("A")
  Me.ListView1.Items.Add(a)
  Me.ListView1.Items.Add("C")
  Me.ListView1.Items.Add("D")

ListView is list box control? Then I think not possible to do what you want. As far as I have been able to tell, all text in controls is subject to properties of the control (font, colors, effects, etc). Unlike within an Excel cell where you can select parts of the content and apply formatting.

Edit: AdamSpeight2000 says it's possible. Sounds interesting.

ListView is a different control to a Listbox.
It's possible for the ListView to simulate a listbox.
