Question

I have a ListView (vsReport): the last SubItem has a text “wait”. Then I will change it to “ok” or “error”. How to paint a whole row (if to use Sender.Canvas.Brush.Color in CustomDrawItem it will be gaps between columns in Windows 7) with this SubItem in green (ok) and red (error)?

Thanks!

You can do

procedure TForm1.ListView1CustomDrawItem(Sender: TCustomListView;
  Item: TListItem; State: TCustomDrawState; var DefaultDraw: Boolean);
begin
  if Item.Index = Sender.Items.Count - 1 then
  begin
    Sender.Canvas.Brush.Color := clSkyBlue;
    Sender.Canvas.FillRect(Item.DisplayRect(drBounds));
  end;
end;

but I advice against it, because it is buggy (and I don’t know how to fix it).
