List Box Selected

[SkellySoul]

Hey, I am trying to change the color of a "selected item in a normal list box" or even a way to get rid of the "blue highlight" color all together.

I found this code and it does exactly what I want, however I wish the code was much more simplified, if possible.

It also is using "_GUICtrlListView_Create" when I just want to use "GUICtrlCreateList"

So if its not possible with "GUICtrlCreateList" , is it possible to remove the blue select color all together.

You have inconsistent questions.

You are talking about 3 diferent controls: ListBox (in title), ListView (example) and Edit (GUICtrlCreateInput).

What type of control do you really want to use?

wow sorry, I just realized that. Forgive me, I meant "GUICtrlCreateList"

I found exactly what I was looking for. You see I am making a very custom GUI that doesn't use any external resources such as, jpg, bmp, gif...

However, I ran into a problem with the solution I found. This will change the theme of all windows instead of just my GUI.

So if anyone is able to come up with a solution to this problem that would be great.
