[RESOLVED] Coloring header row of CListCtrl C++

I have class MyClistCtrl derived from CListCtrl. I want to do two things:
1. Show only horizontal grid lines (I tried LVS_EX_GRIDLINES ,but this displays both horizontal as well as Vertical grid lines)

2. Change background color of header row,it is of gray color(system color),i want it to be white.I read several post and codes but nothing helped so please if anyone from Scratch can tell me with Code how to achieve that

You may want to create your own user defined control. :rolleyes:

Means there is nothing like LVS_ something which can only draw horizontal gridlines,if so please can you help me with code snippet of user defined control you are talking about which can help me in achieving this.

post your code

class IEHeaderCtrl : public CHeaderCtrl { // Construction public: IEHeaderCtrl(); // Generated message map functions protected: afx_msg virtual void DrawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct);
DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
}

Code for IEHeaderCtrl.cpp

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(IEHeaderCtrl, CHeaderCtrl)
END_MESSAGE_MAP

void IEHeaderCtrl::
DawItem(LPDRAWITEMSTRUCT lpDrawItemStruct) { HDITEM hdi; CBrush brush(RGB(255, 0, 0)); CString csBuffer; CRect rectFrame(lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem); ZeroMemory(&hdi, sizeof(HDITEM)); hdi.mask = HDI_TEXT; LPTSTR pBuf = csBuffer.GetBufferSetLength(MAX_PATH); hdi.mask = HDI_TEXT; hdi.pszText = pBuf; hdi.cchTextMax = MAX_PATH; GetItem(lpDrawItemStruct->itemID, &hdi); csBuffer.ReleaseBuffer(); CDC *pDC = CDC::FromHandle(lpDrawItemStruct->hDC); pDC->FillRect(rectFrame, &brush); pDC->SetTextColor(RGB(255, 255, 255)); pDC->SetBkMode(TRANSPARENT); pDC->DrawText(csBuffer, &lpDrawItemStruct->rcItem, DT_LEFT | DT_SINGLELINE | DT_VCENTER); brush.Detach();
}

/*code for Myformview.cpp where my listctrl is embedded:*/

void MyFormView :: OnInitiUpdate()
{
IEHeaderCtrl m_HeaderCtrl;
CHeaderCtrl* pHeader = NULL; pHeader=m_List.GetHeaderCtrl(); VERIFY(m_HeaderCtrl.SubclassWindow(pHeader->m_hWnd)); HDITEM hdItem; hdItem.mask = HDI_FORMAT;
}
