Is it possible to have a different font in individual listView columns?
When I do something like:

ListViewItem lsi;
....
lsi.SubItems[0].Font = new Font (lsi.SubItems[0].Font,
lsi.Font.SubItems[0].Style | FontStyle.Bold);

The entire line (all columns) of the list appears in bold. I just want the
first item to be bold.

Thank you,
Robert
 
Hello Robert,

Just to be safe - try to carry out the same procedure on any other index
than 0. If this fails, I'm afraid you'll have to resort to custom drawing to
achieve that.
I've reviewed the LVM_SETITEM message documentation, but even this seems to
not allow setting a font for a particular item.

Hi Robert,

you have to set the ListViewItem.UseItemStyleForSubItems property to false.

If you later change the appearance of the ListViewItem it will
over-write the appearance of the ListViewSubItem permanently. Plan ahead.
