How to change TTreeView's *text* color?

The properties "Color" and "Brush" of TTreeView only affect its background
color. How can I change the text color?

Thanks,

Rodrigo

If you want to adjust the colors of individual items, then you need to use
one of the TreeView's On...Draw events to render the text onto the Canvas
yourself manually.

I just want to change the text color as a whole. My goal is getting
white on black. It is easy to get a black background (just property
'Color') but I haven't found a way of changing the text color.

That sounded like it should work, but changing ->Font->Color made no
difference. Bizarre...

Thanks,

I presume that you are using the 'OnCustomDraw' event in your
TreeListView
Then all I do is
TTreeListViewPointer->Canvas->Font>Color = whatever for the text
TTreeListViewPointer->Canvas->Font>Brush = whatever for the background
Thats all there is to do
