Problem in highlighting selected item in ListView

[jdy0803]

I'm trying selecting listitems in ListView control programmaticall.
Items are selected but the background is not blue color but grey color and become blue if it get focus.
How to make it highlighted with blue background color even without focus?

ListView.HideSelection Property (System.Windows.Forms)

I adready set ListView.HideSelection = False.
Problem is;
if ListView lost focus, highlight of the selected item is changed from blue color to grey color.
I want to display highlighting blue background color even though lost focus

I didn't see you mention that in your first post.

With this you can make the control look any way you want: ListView.OwnerDraw Property (System.Windows.Forms)

Hello John,

Just use ListView.OwnerDraw Property? or should I make my own class from ListView?
