How to use $GUI_BKCOLOR_LV_ALTERNATE ?

[RS200Z]

Can someone explain to me how to use the special flag $GUI_BKCOLOR_LV_ALTERNATE as mentioned in the help file to create a ListView with different colors for odd and even rows.

I can't seem to find any example script of it.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>

Local $array[10]

$Form1 = GUICreate("AForm1", 370, 270, 193, 115)

$ListView = GUICtrlCreateListView("First Column|Second Column|Third Column", 10, 10, 350, 250)
GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_LV_ALTERNATE)
For $i = 1 to Ubound($array) -1
    $array[$i] = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem("stuff|stuff|stuff", $ListView)
    GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1,0xFF00FF)
Next

GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

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

Incidently if you try using it with this method to create the listview entries _GUICtrlListViewInsertItem($ListView,-1,"stuff|stuff|stuff") it doesn't work.

Using the first method I think your limited to 4000 rows

Hi RS200Z,

Hope this will help (It should... It also took time for me to understand the help file guidance regarding this subject).

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, Put here the Hexa code for the Control Color)

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, $GUI_BKCOLOR_LV_ALTERNATE)

GUICtrlCreateListViewItem(....)<==== create your list view items

GUICtrlSetBkColor(-1, Put here the Hexa code for the listview item Color)

GuiSetState()
