Coloring selected row of CListCtrl

I have a class MyList which is derived from CListCtrl.I want to color selected row to RED.I used NMCustomDraw() but problem is as soon as dialog(CDialog) gets opened ,all the rows come with the color which is done for only selected row.
Code of MyLish.h is as follows:

Code:

---


//MyList.h
class MyList : public CListCtrl
{
        DECLARE_DYNAMIC(MyList)

public:
        MyList();
        virtual ~MyList();
       
protected:
        DECLARE_MESSAGE_MAP()
private:
                COLORREF mBkColor;
                COLORREF mForeColor;
public:
        afx_msg void OnNMCustomdraw(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult);
        void SetColor( int row, COLORREF bkColor, COLORREF ForeColor );
};

---

Code for MyList.cpp is as follows:

Code:

---

//MyList.cpp
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "MyList.h"


// MyList

IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(MyList, CListCtrl)

MyList::MyList():mBkColor(RGB(255,0,255)),
                                mForeColor(RGB(0,255,255))
{

}

MyList::~MyList()
{
}


BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(MyList, CListCtrl)
        ON_NOTIFY_REFLECT(NM_CUSTOMDRAW, OnNMCustomdraw)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void MyList::SetColor( int row,COLORREF bkColor, COLORREF ForeColor )
{
      SetItemState(row, LVIS_SELECTED, LVIS_SELECTED);

        mBkColor = bkColor;
        mForeColor = ForeColor;
        Invalidate();
}

// MyList message handlers



void MyList::OnNMCustomdraw(NMHDR *pNMHDR, LRESULT *pResult)
{
        LPNMCUSTOMDRAW pNMCD = reinterpret_cast<LPNMCUSTOMDRAW>(pNMHDR);
        NMTVCUSTOMDRAW* pLVCD = reinterpret_cast<NMTVCUSTOMDRAW *>( pNMHDR );
        switch( pNMCD->dwDrawStage )
        {
        case CDDS_PREPAINT:
                // Item prepaint notification.
                *pResult= CDRF_NOTIFYITEMDRAW;
                break;
        case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT:
                {
                        if( ( CDIS_SELECTED == ( pNMCD->uItemState & CDIS_SELECTED )))
                        {
                                pNMCD->uItemState = CDIS_DEFAULT;
                                pLVCD->clrText  =  mForeColor;
                                pLVCD->clrTextBk =  mBkColor;
                        }
                }
                break;

        default:
                *pResult = CDRF_DODEFAULT;
                break;
        }
}

I decalred variable of type MyList m_list in MyDialog.h
And after that in OnInitDialog() of MyDialog.cpp i just simply invoked m_list.SetColor(LVS_SELECTED, RGB(255,0,0),RGB(33,33,33)) but result of this is color of each row comes out to be red as soon as dialog gets opened.

Then just remove the code parts you don't need...
