Selection highlight in a listctrl

wxPython Users

Hi,

I’m new to wxpython so my apologies in advance if this is a dumb question.

When I programatically highlight a line in a listctrl using .Focus and .Select it shows in a different colour (light grey) than if I click the line with the mouse (blue).

How do I make them both the same colour?

Regards,

Chris

This is because in addition to the mouse click selecting the item, it also give the widget the focus… so you should be able to add to your code:

yourListCtrlWidget.SetFocus()
