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:
[codesnippet]
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
[/codesnippet]

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

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 ;)

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

Here is the code...

[codesnippet]

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
