how to set background color for a listbox

Im trying to set background color for a listbox.Is it possible to set background color for a listbox?

Yes, it is. You need following:
- HWND of ListBox
- MSDN -> Name of message to do your task
- Know how to send windows messages. There is a lot of examples in the forum

:up:

Well, it isn't as hard as I thought. You need SetCtlColors instruction.

PHP Code:


		
			
!include nsDialogs.nsh



Name "ListBox Colors"

OutFile "ListBox Colors.exe"



Page custom nsDialogsPage



Var LIST_1

Var LIST_2



Function nsDialogsPage

    nsDialogs::Create /NOUNLOAD 1018

    Pop $0



    ${NSD_CreateListBox} 0 0 150 180 Test

    Pop $LIST_1

    SendMessage $LIST_1 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SendMessage $LIST_1 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SendMessage $LIST_1 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SetCtlColors $LIST_1 0x3333CC 0xFFFFCC

    

    ${NSD_CreateListBox} 160 0 150 180 Test

    Pop $LIST_2

    SendMessage $LIST_2 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SendMessage $LIST_2 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SendMessage $LIST_2 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SetCtlColors $LIST_2 0x990033 0xFFCC33

    nsDialogs::Show

I have used the following code :
GetDlgItem $1 $HWND 1201
SetCtlColors $1 0xFFFFFF 191970

the listbox is created using ini.The color sets upon the selection of the items in the list box.How can i set the color at once instead of selecting individual items?

but i need to set the background color on a button event code looks like this :
Function LeaveCustom

ReadINIStr$0 "$PLUGINSDIR\showUserList.ini" "Settings" "State"
!insertmacro MUI_INSTALLOPTIONS_READ $UserSelection "showUserList.ini" "Field 2" "State"

StrCmp $0 0 Done ; Next button?
StrCmp $0 3 SelectAll ; select all users
StrCmp $0 4 UnselectAll ; unselect all users
StrCmp $0 2 ListSelection
Abort ; Return to the page

SelectAll:
; MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "Select All"
; StrCpy $0 SELECT_ALL
StrCpy $isSelectAll "1"
GetDlgItem $1 $HWNDPARENT 1
EnableWindow $1 1
GetDlgItem $1 $HWND 1203
EnableWindow $1 1
;added on dec 04,2007
GetDlgItem $1 $HWND 1202
EnableWindow $1 0
GetDlgItem $1 $HWND 1201
SetCtlColors $1 0xFFFFFF 191970
;MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "Go to next page"
; call InstallAllFiles
Abort

UnselectAll:
GetDlgItem $0 $HWND 1201
SetCtlColors $0 "transparent"
GetDlgItem $1 $HWNDPARENT 1
EnableWindow $1 0
;MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION "Unselect All"
StrCpy $isSelectAll "0"
GetDlgItem $1 $HWND 1203
EnableWindow $1 0
;added on dec 04,2007
GetDlgItem $1 $HWND 1202
EnableWindow $1 1

Abort

I recommend you using nsDialogs instead of InstallOptions.
