Anyone know how to change the background color of the checkboxes in a DotNet listview? The listview.BackColor property works for everything except the checkbox itself, which always remains with a white background around and inside the box.

Thanks.

Hi John,

I don't think it is straight forward- firstly you would have to set the owner draw property to true. However, this means you have to draw all the listview item apprearance also. I think the actual checkbox itself is tied to something else - the CheckBoxRenderer. It's certainly not something i'd attempt within max, but a custom listview control in vb or c# should be possible. I think i read something about it somewhere once, i'll have a ferret around to see.

Thanks, Peter

What I'll probably just do is make a custom bitmap. That way I can easily make an indeterminate state as well.
