Changing colour of items in a List control? [message #454491]

I would like to change the background or foreground colour of items in a
list control to indicate status. I don't think this is possible, but
can anyone give me any hint as to the best control to use for this type
of behaviour? Or is it possible and I am missing something? I
currently have an implementation that uses a List, but I want to add
some functionality to show that certain items in the list have an error
condition, so I would like to highlight them red (or something).

I looked at a JFace ListViewer, but shoe-horning a ContentProvider and
underlying data model into the current code will be...well...difficult.

Thanks,
Mark.

Try to use a Table control instead of a List control. From the JFace package
you can use the TableViewer wrapper class.
