POWindows theme affecting ListView header
text
Body
copied!<p>I've created new Windows Forms Application (C#) with one simple form containing ListView. Then I have changed the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.listview.view.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">View Property</a> to Details and increased the size of the font used in this ListView and here's the result:</p> <p>This is how it looks on Windows XP with Windows Classic theme:<br> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/oIoF7.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>and here's the result with Windows XP theme:<br> <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/vcMBV.png" alt="enter image description here"></p> <p>I can prevent the appearance of my application to be affected by Visual Styles either by removing <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.application.enablevisualstyles.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Application.EnableVisualStyles()</code></a> call or by changing the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.visualstyles.visualstylestate.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>Application.VisualStyleState</code></a>: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/9IQiC.png" alt="enter image description here"><br> Although this change makes the ListView to have the desired appearance, it also affects the appearance of other controls. I'd like my ListView to be <strong>the only control that is not affected by Visual Styles</strong>. </p> <p>I've also found similar questions that try to deal with it:<br> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/544203/1168156">Can you turn off visual styles/theming for just a single windows control?</a><br> <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/298486/1168156">How do I disable visual styles for just one control, and not its children?</a></p> <p>Unfortunately, none of mentioned solutions works. <strong>It looks like the header itself would be made up of some controls that are affected by visual styles even when visual styles for ListView control are disabled.</strong></p> <p><strong>Any C# solution that would prevent visual styles from affecting the appearance of the ListView header would be appreciated.</strong> </p>
