ObjectListView - FormatRow Event Not Working For ForeColor

I am trying to format a row in an ObjectListView using the FormatRow event and set the entire row a different ForeColor based on a value, however, to no avail.

My code:

Private Sub lsv_OpenTickets_FormatRow(sender As Object, e As FormatRowEventArgs) Handles lsv_OpenTickets.FormatRow
    Dim tkt As Ticket = DirectCast(e.Model, Ticket)
    If tkt.due = "Overdue" Then
        e.Item.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(252, 146, 156)
    End If
End Sub

Only seems to set the first Item in the row to the specified color and every other SubItem is painted with the default color.

If I change my code to:

e.Item.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(252, 146, 156)

Then it paints the entire row correctly as a back color. It just doesn't seem to work for the ForeColor.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or missed something maybe?

Solution

Ok, so it turns out that the e.Item.ForeColor only seems to apply formatting to the first SubItem in the row - not all SubItems like I would've thought. Not sure if this is intentional or a bug or if I'm coding something incorrectly, but to me 'Item' corresponds to the entire row, whereas SubItem corresponds to individual cells.

Anyway, to overcome my issue, I modified my code to the following:

Private Sub lsv_OpenTickets_FormatRow(sender As Object, e As FormatRowEventArgs) Handles lsv_OpenTickets.FormatRow
    Dim tkt As Ticket = DirectCast(e.Model, Ticket)
    If tkt.due = "OVERDUE" Then
        For Each sb As OLVListSubItem In e.Item.SubItems
            sb.ForeColor = Color.FromArgb(252, 146, 159)
        Next
    End If
End Sub

This now gives me the results I required and also works well with the FormatCell event, as individual cell formatting will override the row formatting.
