How to change radlistview custom item backcolor

[Fernando]

Hello,

I'm trying to make a list with alternating row colors  like the one in the attached image but I'm having troubles making the rows with different colors, it only get the

last one.

I'm attaching the code:

Any help will be appreciated.

Kind regards.

Private Sub lstProductos_VisualItemCreating(sender As Object, e As ListViewVisualItemCreatingEventArgs) Handles listViewMSProductos.VisualItemCreating

       If Me.listViewMSProductos.ViewType = ListViewType.IconsView Then

          e.VisualItem = New CustomListViewItemIconType(IdApp)

 

          e.VisualItem.ImageLayout = ImageLayout.Center

          e.VisualItem.ImageAlignment = ContentAlignment.TopCenter

          e.VisualItem.TextAlignment = ContentAlignment.BottomCenter

       Else

          Dim aux As Integer = 1

          For Each item In listViewMSProductos.ListViewElement.ViewElement.Items

             If aux Mod (2) = 0 Then

                e.VisualItem = New CustomListViewItemListType(Color.Red)

             Else

                e.VisualItem = New CustomListViewItemListType(Color.Blue)

             End If

             aux = aux + 1

          Next

       End If

    End Sub

 

Public Class CustomListViewItemListType
Inherits SimpleListViewVisualItem

Public Sub New( pColor As Color)
      Me.BackColor = _color
   End Sub

Hello Fernando,

First I want to say that you do not need to iterate the items in the VisualItemCreating event. This event will be fired for each item.

The proper place to style the items is the VisualItemFormatting event where you have an access to the item element. I have attached a small example that shows how you can create alternating item color functionality. 

I hope this will be useful. Let me know if you have additional questions.
