GUICtrlCreateList changing colors per line

Is it possible to have a GUICtrlCreateList with each line listed as a different color? I took a helpfile code to show what I'm looking for. It doesn't change the color the way I want, but you will get the idea of what I'm trying to do. I want it so when I click on the "Add Red" button, the text that is put into the GUICtrlCreateList window will be red for that line, while all the other text will be black. If I click "Add Black", the text that is put into the GUICtrlCreateList window will be black for that line.

It is important for any text already in GUICtrlCreateList to remain the color it is when it was first entered.

Is this possible?

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GLOBAL $MESSAGE = "This text will stay black"
GUICreate("My GUI list"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$add=GUICtrlCreateButton ("Add Red", 64,32,75,25)
$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Add Black", 64,68,75,25)
$clear=GUICtrlCreateButton ("Clear", 64,102,75,25)
$mylist=GUICtrlCreateList ("black  black,  black", 176,32,210,97)
GUICtrlSetLimit(-1,200); to limit horizontal scrolling
GUICtrlSetData(-1,$MESSAGE)
$close=GUICtrlCreateButton ("my closing button", 64,160,175,25)

GUISetState ()

$msg = 0

;$color2 = GUICtrlSetColor($text1,0x000000)
While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()

    Select
        case $msg = $add
            $text1 = GUICtrlSetData($mylist,"This text needs to be red|")
            $color1 = GUICtrlSetColor($text1,0xFF0000); doesn't work
        case $msg = $clear
            GUICtrlSetData($mylist,"")
        case $msg = $button
            $text1 = GUICtrlSetData($mylist,"This text needs to be black|")
        Case $msg = $close
            MsgBox(0,"", "the closing button has been clicked",2)
            Exit
    EndSelect

This is true but, only apply to Listview control and not to List control....

@Frost: If I understand this right, I can use listview to do this. I took some code you wrote and made a small change on line 16 and 17 to see if I can cange the color. It worked, but it changes the color on every line. Is there a way to change the color on just one line?

CODE
#include <GuiConstants.au3>

#include <GuiListview.au3>

_Main()

Func _Main()

Local $editCtrl = "Edit1";name of the Edit control that pops up when edit a listitem....

Local $editFlag = 0, $listview, $Gui, $start, $diff, $doubleclicked, $msg

$Gui = GUICreate("Edit-able ListViewItems")

$CloseButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 300, 300, 100, 20)

$listview = GUICtrlCreateListView("Items", 10, 10, 300, 200, $LVS_EDITLABELS);Important Style!!!

; Populate list and make it wide enough to see

For $i = 1 To 10

$main = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("single quick twice or press F2, then press Enter", $listview)

GUICtrlSetColor($main, 0xff0000)

Next

GUICtrlSendMsg($listview, 0x101E, 0, -1);$listview, LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, resize to widest value

your loop set the color on every item

For $i = 1 To 10
$main = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("single quick twice or press F2, then press Enter", $listview)
GUICtrlSetColor($main, 0xff0000)
Next
GUICtrlSendMsg($listview, 0x101E, 0, -1);$listview, LVM_SETCOLUMNWIDTH, 0, resize to widest value

it's up to you how many to set the color on

My buddy came up with this. It does what we need:

CODE
#include <GUIConstants.au3>

#include <GuiListView.au3>

GLOBAL $MESSAGE = "This text will stay black"

GUICreate("My GUI list"); will create a dialog box that when displayed is centered

$add=GUICtrlCreateButton ("Add Red", 64,32,75,25)

$button = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Add Black", 64,68,75,25)

$clear=GUICtrlCreateButton ("Clear", 64,102,75,25)

$mylist=GUICtrlCreateListView (' ', 176,32,210,97, BitOR($LVS_REPORT, $LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER))

_GUICtrlListViewSetColumnWidth($mylist, 0, 300)

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("black black, black", $mylist)

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem($MESSAGE, $mylist)

$close=GUICtrlCreateButton ("my closing button", 64,160,175,25)

GUISetState ()

$msg = 0

;$color2 = GUICtrlSetColor($text1,0x000000)

While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

case $msg = $add

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("This text needs to be red|", $mylist)

GUICtrlSetColor(-1,0xFF0000)

case $msg = $clear

_GUICtrlListViewDeleteAllItems($mylist)

case $msg = $button

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("This text needs to be black|", $mylist)

Case $msg = $close

MsgBox(0,"", "the closing button has been clicked",2)

Exit

EndSelect

Wend

@Frost: that script you made is really cool! Nice work. :lmao:
