Hello,
I am using TListBox to display messages during program execution.
__________________________________________________
FormMain->ListBox1->Items->Add(AnsiString "message1");
__________________________________________________
Some messages (like ERROR messages), I would like to add to
ListBox BUT painted in red color (and all other messages will have same,
default color).
Is this possible/simple in run time mode?
Best regards and thanks all,
Carina

Hi, Carina!

You'll need to use TRichEdit or make the ListBox owner draw, I think.

Also, a grid with a single column may offer some capabilities along the
lines of what you need.

Here is some code I used to add color to ListBox items....

void __fastcall TMDIChild::FeesListBoxDrawItem(TWinControl *Control,
      int Index, TRect &Rect, TOwnerDrawState State)
{
// set the color here
if (!(FeeFields[Index]->FeeAmount->AsString.IsEmpty() &&
FeeFields[Index]->FeePercentage->AsString.IsEmpty()))
        FeesListBox->Canvas->Font->Color = clGreen;
    else
        FeesListBox->Canvas->Font->Color = clWindowText;
FeesListBox->Canvas->FillRect(Rect); // paint the background
FeesListBox->Canvas->TextOut(Rect.Left, Rect.Top,
FeesListBox->Items->Strings[Index]);
