Hi everybody,

I try to find how can i put a bitmap as backround in a listbox.

Of course just a gradient can be great also. i have find some really good gradient functions on this forum but

i cant apply this function to a ListBox without garbage

It's difficult to explain so i have included a example of what i want to do.

Thank's

Happy New year 2010.

I'm of the opinion this could only be done with a listview. You can make a 1 column listview with no header, turn the background transparent and place a shownoactivate guictrlpic behind it that would give you the results you are looking for. If I have a minute I will throw one together.

Thanks Picea,

Ok listBox can be a Listview is not very important for my project.

Hi Sheeva

Don't have much time, so used the udf I created to render the gradient. You will need to put the udf in the same directory.

It was a bit harder than I expected. I had to use two gui's in order to do it. I personally think it adds too much unnecessary complexity but you be the judge. I hope this helps.
