Hi,
I was hoping someone could help me with changing the color of a single item in
the ListCtrl. The docs talk about modifying a ListItem, but I haven't been
able to successfully get it to work. Any one have any sample code?
-Mike
I think that is not posible, at least on win9x, because a native widget is
used.
If you need a visual efects in a row, maybe you could use a diferent icon
or you could use the new wxGrid instead, wxGrid may be configured
cell by cell if you need.

This works for me on wxMSW (NT, don't know about 95) and wxGTK.
Given listCtrl and you want to colour the idx'th item:
item = listCtrl.GetItem(idx)
item.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(123, 123, 213))
listCtrl.SetItem(item)

the setup loop looked like

self.list.InsertImageStringItem(x, data[0], idx1)
self.list.SetStringItem(x, 1, data[1])
self.list.SetStringItem(x, 2, data[2])

You have to update the wxListCtrl after modyfying the wxListItem, add:
self.list.SetItem(i)
···
i = self.list.GetItem(x,1)
i.SetTextColour(wxRED)
i = self.list.GetItem(x,2)
i.SetBackgroundColour(wxBLUE)

but Billy Joel comes out all columns white background blue text and Bad
English comes out all red bg and blue text. It seems that I don't have
control over the individual columns. A poor design to say the least.

I want to set a specific column of a wxListCtrl to use a different font
and like Robin below have found that the .SetItem(ItemId) call affects all
columns, even though ItemId is unique to the column.
After reading the WxWindows help file, I have convinced myself that there
is a separate instance of wxListItem for each column item and printing the
values of the class members confirms this. The only thing I don't
understand is in the description of wxListCtrl::GetItem where it adds
"You must call info.SetId() to se ID of item you're interested in before
calling this method."
This obviously contains a typo so I can't follow what it is trying to say,
especially as I can't find any reference to a SetId() method anywhere.
Hopefully this a red-herring that doesn't affect the wxPython
implementation, but could an expert please confirm that what I am
attempting *ought* to work.
Regards,
David Hughes

One colour / font per row.

This is not applicable to wxPython as the GetItem method in wxPython
does
not take a wxListItem as a parameter, it takes the ID and optionally the
column number.
This obviously contains a typo so I can't follow what it is trying to say,
especially as I can't find any reference to a SetId() method anywhere.
wxListItem does have a method named SetId() (check the source,
wxListItem
is not documented)

That's a pity, I have got numeric columns that really must be in a
fixed-width font but the corresponding descriptive text looks much better
when it's proportionally spaced 
Thanks for the prompt reply.
