Color of listview items ...

        Case $HL
            GUICtrlSetBkColor(GUICtrlRead($lv), 0xFFFF00)
    EndSwitch
WEnd

The HL button colors what's highlighted.

You were close. The OP said:

(I'm interested in the forecolor not the backgroundcolor)

Just changing GuiCtrlSetBkColor() to GuiCtrlSetColor() does it though...

I was actually assuming by "background" that the OP was referring to a single, uniform color of the whole listview (eg. GUICtrlSetBkColor($lv, 0xFF0000)). So what I posted was, in fact, what I intended to be the answer. I figured if the OP meant text, he would have said that instead of foreground.

If he actually did mean the text color, then yes, remove the "Bk."

Good point. Just for giggles, I modded to change the color in three places, the Bk of the LV, the Bk of the item, and the text:

This question relates to Beta version

When using _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID() and then later using this to set the BKcolor does not work. Does anyone know why and how to achieve using MapIndexToID() to set color.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

GUICreate('', 230, 156)

$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Item 1', 10, 120, 50, 26)
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Item 2', 70, 120, 50, 26)
$btn3 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Item 3', 130, 120, 50, 26)
$HL = GUICtrlCreateButton('HL', 190, 120, 30, 26)


$lv = GUICtrlCreateListView('Some Column', 10, 10, 210, 100)

$lvi1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 1', $lv)
$lvi2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 2', $lv)
$lvi3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 3', $lv)

GUISetState()

Local $ID = _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID($lv,1)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $btn1
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($ID, 0xFF0000)
        Case $btn2
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($lvi2, 0x00FF00)
        Case $btn3
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($lvi3, 0x0000FF)
        Case $HL
            GUICtrlSetBkColor(GUICtrlRead($lv), 0xFFFF00)
    EndSwitch

Run this to see why:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

GUICreate('', 230, 156)
$lv = GUICtrlCreateListView('Some Column', 10, 10, 210, 100)
$lvi1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 1', $lv)
$lvi2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 2', $lv)
$lvi3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 3', $lv)
GUISetState()

Local $ID = _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID($lv,1)

ConsoleWrite("Debug:" & @LF & _
        @TAB & "$lv = " & $lv & @LF & _
        @TAB & "$lvi1 = " & $lvi1 & @LF & _
        @TAB & "$lvi2 = " & $lvi2 & @LF & _
        @TAB & "$lvi3 = " & $lvi3 & @LF & _
        @TAB & "$ID = " & $ID & @LF)

The internal ID of an item in a ListView is not the same as the AutoIt ControlID, so you can't use it in AutoIt's built-in GuiCtrlSet* functions.

<_<

GOOOOOOOOD EXAMPLE and explanation. So is there no way to retrieve the AutoIt ControlID with the MapIndexToID() or to at least achieve the coloring of a listview item with MapIndexToID() ?

EDIT

In my script, I'm actually using _GUICtrlListView_AddItem() and not GUICtrlCreateListViewItem()

Notice how it won't change the first (zero) item.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>
#include <GUIListView.au3>

GUICreate('Test', 230, 156)

$btn1 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Item 1', 10, 120, 50, 26)
$btn2 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Item 2', 70, 120, 50, 26)
$btn3 = GUICtrlCreateButton('Item 3', 130, 120, 50, 26)
$HL = GUICtrlCreateButton('HL', 190, 120, 30, 26)


$lv = GUICtrlCreateListView('Some Column', 10, 10, 210, 100)
$lvi1 = _GUICtrlListView_AddItem($lv,'Some Item 1')
;~ $lvi1 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 1', $lv)
$lvi2 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 2', $lv)
$lvi3 = GUICtrlCreateListViewItem('Some Item 3', $lv)

GUISetState()

Local $totalItems = _GUICtrlListView_GetItemCount($lv)
Local $itemsIndexArray[$totalItems]
For $_a = 0 To $totalItems-1
    $itemsIndexArray[$_a] = $_a
Next


;Local $mapID = _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID($lv,Number('1'));Number is used to demonstrate what must be done if you're using a string (for some weird reason)
;~ Local $mapID = _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID($lv,$itemsIndexArray[0])
Local $mapID = _GUICtrlListView_MapIndexToID($lv,$lvi1+1);Number is used to because an array position is used


Local $mapIndex = _GUICtrlListView_MapIDToIndex($lv,$mapID)
Local $_array = _GUICtrlListView_GetItem($lv, $mapIndex)
Local $ID = $_array[5]
ConsoleWrite($lvi1 &' vs ' & $ID & @CRLF)

While 1
    $msg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $msg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
        Case $btn1
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($ID, 0xFF0000)
        Case $btn2
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($lvi2, 0x00FF00)
        Case $btn3
            GUICtrlSetBkColor($lvi3, 0x0000FF)
        Case $HL
            GUICtrlSetBkColor(GUICtrlRead($lv), 0xFFFF00)
    EndSwitch
WEnd
