Alternate color Listview items

[water]

As I have been struggling a bit with the way $GUI_BKCOLOR_LV_ALTERNATE works (couldn't find an example in the help file or the forum) I post a reproducer script for future reference so you can see how it works:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>

GUICreate("listview items", 220, 250, 100, 200, -1)
Local $idListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1  |col2|col3  ", 10, 10, 200, 150)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_LV_ALTERNATE) ; alternate between the listview background color and the listview item background color
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xDDEEFF) ; Set the background color for the listview
Local $idItem1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|col12|col13", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|col23", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|col32|col33", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem4 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item4|col42|col43", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem5 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item5|col52|col53", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

You can even change the color:

#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <ListViewConstants.au3>

GUICreate("listview items", 220, 250, 100, 200, -1)
Local $idListview = GUICtrlCreateListView("col1  |col2|col3  ", 10, 10, 200, 150)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_LV_ALTERNATE) ; alternate between the listview background color and the listview item background color
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xDDEEFF) ; Set the background color for the listview
Local $idItem1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item1|col12|col13", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item2|col22|col23", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item3|col32|col33", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xFCF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem4 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("Now|change|color", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xBBF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem5 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item5|col52|col53", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xBBF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
Local $idItem5 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("item6|col62|col63", $idListview)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, 0xBBF6EA) ; Set the background color for the listview item
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    Switch GUIGetMsg()
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

I have added an additional example to the repository. Will be available with the next beta.
