Help with Weekly Student Timetable

[Muzza]

I am developing an app to manage music students and teachers. I have a simple list view showing a weekly timetable for a teacher (see screenshot).

Can anyone give me any ideas (code would be even greater) to make this look better.

My ideal would be to show the length of each lesson and colour coding by location or type of lesson.

Thanks heaps,

Muzza

$g_ListClose = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", $g_Main_W - 50, $g_DataHight + 20)

    $g_ListGroup = GUICtrlCreateGroup ( "Jenny's Timetable", 165, 5 , $g_DataWidth, $g_DataHight + 15)

    $g_List = _GUICtrlListView_Create ($g_Main, "", 170, 20 , $g_DataWidth - 10, $g_DataHight - 5,BitOR($LVS_EDITLABELS, $LVS_REPORT), $WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE)
    
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 0, "Time", 40 )
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 1, "Monday", 110 )
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 2, "Tuesday", 110 )
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 3, "Wednesday", 110 )
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 4, "Thursday", 110 )
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 5, "Friday", 110 )
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 6, "Saturday", 20 )
    _GUICtrlListView_InsertColumn ($g_List, 7, "Sunday", 20 )
    
    _GUICtrlListView_SetItemCount ($g_List, UBound($a_TutTimeT))
    
    _GUICtrlListView_AddArray ($g_List, $a_TutTimeT)

    GUICtrlCreateGroup ("",-99,-99,1,1) ;close group

You can change text/background color for whole listview control by:

GUICtrlSendMsg($ListView, $LVM_SETTEXTCOLOR, 0, 0xffffff)
GUICtrlSendMsg($ListView, $LVM_SETTEXTBKCOLOR, 0, 0x000000)

For different color/background color of each item you must use LVS_OWNERDRAWFIXED listview style and draw each item yourself.

Look here at similar OWNERDRAW approach with Listbox:
