Setting child color to Treeview items

[DickG]

I can set the color to the Parent item, but not to the Child item.

So I tried using the Help file example to set the color to parent and child items.

    Local $hItem, $hImage, $iImage, $idTreeView
    Local $iStyle = BitOR($TVS_EDITLABELS, $TVS_HASBUTTONS, $TVS_HASLINES, $TVS_LINESATROOT, $TVS_DISABLEDRAGDROP, $TVS_SHOWSELALWAYS, $TVS_CHECKBOXES)

    GUICreate("TreeView Add Child", 400, 300)

    $idTreeView = GUICtrlCreateTreeView(2, 2, 396, 268, $iStyle, $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
    GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

    $hImage = _GUIImageList_Create(16, 16, 5, 3)
    _GUIImageList_AddIcon($hImage, "shell32.dll", 110)
    _GUIImageList_AddIcon($hImage, "shell32.dll", 131)
    _GUIImageList_AddIcon($hImage, "shell32.dll", 165)
    _GUIImageList_AddIcon($hImage, "shell32.dll", 168)
    _GUIImageList_AddIcon($hImage, "shell32.dll", 137)
    _GUIImageList_AddIcon($hImage, "shell32.dll", 146)
    _GUICtrlTreeView_SetNormalImageList($idTreeView, $hImage)

    _GUICtrlTreeView_BeginUpdate($idTreeView)
    For $x = 1 To Random(2, 10, 1)
        $iImage = Random(0, 5, 1)
        $hItem = _GUICtrlTreeView_Add($idTreeView, 0, StringFormat("[%02d] New Item", $x), $iImage, $iImage)
        GUICtrlSetBkColor($hItem, "0xFCECB4")
        For $y = 1 To Random(2, 10, 1)
            $iImage = Random(0, 5, 1)
            _GUICtrlTreeView_AddChild($idTreeView, $hItem, StringFormat("[%02d] New Child", $y), $iImage, $iImage)
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($hItem, "0xFE304F")
        Next
    Next
    _GUICtrlTreeView_EndUpdate($idTreeView)

    ; Loop until the user exits.
    Do
    Until GUIGetMsg() = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    GUIDelete()
EndFunc   ;==>Example

But it doesn't change any color at all.

Any idea why?

GUICtrlSetBkColor needs a CtrlID (return from native GUICtrl functions), not a handle (return from _GUICtrl UDFs).  This complicates things a little (have to apply Image List Index afterwards), but is doable.

Fantastic!

I failed to realize the difference between using native and UDF functions!

So this let me figure out how to get it to work in my own script.

Thank you very much, Spudw2k!
