Good Afternoon Florida, Hi James, I've had a look at your code thinking that it was an easy fix.... and I have the same as you. I guess the silence from other quarters implies that they too haven't found anything else. I can't really spend any more time on this now, but if I do get a minute I'll have another look. Good luck, Regards Steve

It's been interesting archeology so far! It seems that Wx::ListItem->SetTextColour ->SetBackgroundColour ->SetFont calls don't work when applied to a ListCtrl::InsertColumn(col, item) call. They work fine when applied to an item. SetText and SetWidth also work fine with InsertColumn. I found a post on the wxWidgets wiki saying as much and suggesting a work around of setting the color and font on the ListCtrl and then changing the color and font of the items as they are created. This kinda works except for setting the background of the column header. The font, font size and text color do get set as directed(on my CitrusPerl 5.16/2.8x installation). And the items get set as directed. See the attached test code. Is this issue "fixed" in 2.9.x? Any other ideas on changing the column header font/text color/background color? Any better work-arounds? Thanks for your time and experience. James
