Get a ListView cell's text color ?

[Jean-Christophe]

Hi All,

I want to retreive the color of the text displayed in a cell
of a ListView (where different cells have different text colors)

I tried to use this :
COLORREF ListView_GetTextColor( HWND hwnd );
but it doesn't work since I need to get the
text color of a particular cell of the list.

How can I do that ?

You can't easily.
The colour is set each time it's painted by asking the parent window
(with the CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT notification and NMLVCUSTOMDRAW
structure).
There is no (internal to the control) persistent colour information.
If it's your own control, you'll need to ask the code that's setting the colour.
