Listbox Items, Making different items in a listbox different colors

The listbox.forecolor property makes all items in the collection the same color. I want to do the following: if x > 0 then listbox.forecolor = color1 : listbox.items.add(x.tostring) if x < 0 then listbox.forecolor = color2 : listbox.items.add(x.tostring)

Then Call the new Class - whatever you name it (ColorListBox) and create an instance of your new class object. You will then have to define the new Line Color properties based on your new Class

Would you please write a few lines of code showing the overrides in the new class that inherits the listbox class. Thanks dan
