   [.net] Custom listview/scrollbar
  I'm trying to customize the colors and padding for a listview with tiled items. Unfortunately, the colors of listview and scrollbar are pretty much hard coded, so the only solution I see is to use completely new components.So, does anyone know of a custom listview (or possibly similar control for just tiled items) or a custom scrollbar?Thanks!   
  have you tried deriving and overriding the onpaint method?   ;  That's kinda what I'm trying to avoid. Also, there does not seem to be access to the scrollbar(s) associated with a listview, so those could not be drawn or created differently. If I can't find anything, I'll have to create my own simplified tiled list view control and a scrollbar control.I really wonder why these controls have so little flexibility when it comes to customizing appearance. Some of the newer controls allow a Renderer object to be assigned, so I guess it's just the way the MFC controls are designed that WinForms builds on.   ;  Why do you want to avoid it? That's how custom apperances are done.The scrollbar in a listview is accessible as a child window of the control. Get its HWND and you can get its WinProc and hook its paint events from there. A hassle, really. I'm not sure it wouldn't be less work to write a list view/scrollbar from scratch that paint the way you want them to.   ;  I'd prefer to avoid writing my own customized list view or scrollbar if there are components already out there that have the functionality I'm after. I'd rather not deal with drawing, selection, tooltip, etc code. At the very least, I wanted to change the color of a group title in a listview. Seems that it can't be changed! Forecolor certainly doesn't work.Ah well, guess I'll just go ahead and write my own controls.;  //** The scrollbar in a listview is accessible as a child window of the control.

My point would be to have a larger horizontal / vertical scrollbar on a listview.ThanksNico
