Listview column headers

[JL]

Is it possible and if so, how, to change the color (and/or font) of a
listveiw's column headers at runtime and individually?

TIA,
John

No, the ColumnHeader class of the .NET Framework lacks those properties, so
you would need to use custom drawing and the Win32 API. Notice that there is
a Column Header control on its own that the listview uses internally, and
that you can get its window handle sending the LVM_GETHEADER message to the
listview:

Thank you Carlos and Herfried. I was afraid it was not possible. Seems
very short sited of MS to leave out those important properties. But,
oh well...
