ListView Mouse Disable

I am trying to figure out how do I disable mouse input in a ListView(SysListView32) control using Win32API not MFC.

One way around is to Disable the window by EnableWindow(FALSE) but this approach sets the color of it gray and I need to set the background color to White.

How can I achieve this. Any ideas ?

Euhm,

I'm not sure but why not handle all clicks on the HWND yourself? If not all are sended, you could try to send the SetCapture() API.

Hope it helps.

Actually Im implementing the thing in NSIS installer where I cant handle this Callbacks.
Im posting here just for API method so that I can implement that in NSIS way.

My simple question is How do I disable mouse click to any window ?.

The gray color is set by default. you can set its style as owner-draw to change its color.
For your simple question, that needs you to handle mouse clicks on "any windows" you want to control.

As mentioned, just handle all the mouse messages and do nothing with them.

What do you mean by "do nothing with them" ?

Don't call the base class message handler for messages you want to discard.
