Double-click a category and the category expands to show the tasks in that category. Double-click it again and the category contracts so that the tasks in that category are not shown. Double-click a task and the task is performed. Is it possible to set things up so that all category rows have one background color and all task tows have another? The information about the clicking, expanding and contracting, etc. is probably unnecessary. I included it just in case it makes a difference that the listbox sometimes shows the task lines and sometimes doesn't. (I think I got the code for that from a Real Software sample.) I don't fully understand how it works, but I don't think the contents of the cells actually change, but merely whether they are hidden or shown, which should not affect my question. Right now the only way to distinguish between the category rows and the task rows (other than behavior) is that the text in the task rows is indented and the text in the category rows isn't. It would be nice if there could be another way to distinguish between the two types of lines, and having different colors would be an excellent way. What I'm asking for may not necessarily be possible. I know from the Language Reference that it's possible to set the background color for the listbox, but I'm not really sure whether you can have different colors in different rows. (There are over one hundred rows in the listbox, if that makes any difference.) Thanks in advance for the help. Incidentally, I expect within a week or so to make available a radically updated version of CodeHelper, with lots of new features, including some essential documentation. I know how the listbox menu works, but it wouldn't be obvious to someone trying to use CodeHelper with no documentation.
