Listview with background picture

I have problems with ListView-control because of its GridLines bug in
Windows XP.

I created a function that creates a bitmap which presents those grid lines.
Then I set this image to ListView's BackgroundImage. The grid line bug is
fixed now but this creates an another problem.

While having a background image, list view won't show list item's backcolor
if it's set.

For example:

Listview1.BackgroundImage=MyBitmap
Listview1.Items(2).Backcolor=Colors.Red

That red background won't be seen. Any ideas how to show that backcolor and
have background image at the same time?

Thanks for your answer,
Teemu

Yeah, paint the background yourself. Shouldn't be too difficult to
calculate the dimensions, color w/transparency, and calling the
Graphics.DrawRectangle, you should be able to do it :)
