How to change listview items fonts?

I have a SF listview and want to change the font for its items, I though that by changing the font in the listview will take care of that, but nope, it will only change the font for the columns.

Then I try in the OnLoad with the following code:

Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

        MyBase.OnLoad(e)

        '-- Change the font of the listview items

        For Each item As ListViewItem In Me.lstItemsStock.Items

            item.Font = New System.Drawing.Font("Segoe UI", 12.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))

        Next

    End Sub

That did not work either, so here is the question: How to change the font for the ListViewItems in the SF ListView?

Never mind, I found it after looking at the obvious for other settings in the ListView "RowPopulated" event.

Here is the code...

Dim myListViewItemFont As Object = New System.Drawing.Font("Segoe UI", 12.0!, System.Drawing.FontStyle.Regular, System.Drawing.GraphicsUnit.Point, CType(0, Byte))

    Private Sub lstItemsStock_RowPopulated(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.RowPopulatedEventArgs) Handles lstItemsStock.RowPopulated

            e.ListViewItem.Font = myListViewItemFont

    End Sub

Yup, that was the very reason that we added that method, to expose the entire list item so you can do whatever necessary. Good find Wink
