Changing cell color in table control

[aureolevoyager]

I ideally need to highlight a cell in a table control by changing it's colour when action is required by
the user. Is this possible?

It is not possible with the Table control.
I think that the ListView control supports it: http://www.basic4ppc.com/forum/additional-libraries/973-listview_freeware_version.html

From the library help file, it seems that I cannot set an individual row or cell colour but I can choose a colour to highlight every other row...but I will pm the author to see if his "professionl" version can do it

Hi,

Did you ever find a library that did what you required? I have exactly the same need, to change a specific cell's background colour.

Kind regards,

Rich

The dot net includes only these options for changing backcolor of selection in a table:

BackColor Overridden. Gets or sets the background color of even-numbered rows of the grid.
SelectionBackColor Gets or sets the background color of selected rows.
SelectionForeColor Gets or set the foreground color of selected rows.

So I guess you can't do it, unless you want to invent something like pasting a bitmap on which you printed the text ...(like the trick of multiple lines in blist).

I've tried it today - no success
