Listbox, different colors on itemlines

Best Delphians
I'd like to mark single lines i a listbox with a differing color.
(The property Color acts on the entire listbox.)
Anyone of you knows about appropriate methods. I have a wague feeling
that the Rect could be used. But how?
I really appreciate any points of view!

Use an ownerdraw listbox. (see "ownerdraw" in your doc index)

There is an OnDrawItem event where you can change the
ListBox.Canvas.Font.Color to whatever you want for that particular item.
You could even change the font style or whatever.

Good Luck,
