Subj : Listvew Custom Drawing To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : mike Date : Wed Jun 30 2004 10:22 pm Hi, i'm using the NMLVCUSTOMDRAW message and i wanted to know how i can get access the what the listview is trying to paint. the reason i want to do this is because i want to turn all the "cells" that have a negative number to red text, but leave the rest alone. i was looking at the structure and i don't see a way on how to get to this data. therefore can anyone suggest another approach to handling this? aloha, mike .
