Re: ListView BackColor

Ok, I have looked at the documentation.  Without working with it 
just yet, this question seems obvious: when I handle this message, 
how do I know what is sending it?  I can get the handle of the 
entire ListView control, but how do I ID the individual elements of 
the control, ie each cell?  

In other words, if I want the backcolor of a line to be red if the 
DOB value is <1955 and green if >1955, how do I know which cell or 
item I am handling the message for?

Thanks,

Steve
