Wxpython - setting background color of a listctrl of a CELL, not of the entire row

Question

Is it possible to set the background color of a cell in a wxpython listctrl object? I have found SetItemTextColour() and the SetItemBackgroundColour() but both only change the colors for the entire row.

Any ideas? Thanks!

You might want to switch to an UltimateListCtrl to achieve your goals, take a look in the wxPython demo for an example of how to accomplish your goals their sample has single-celled background adjustments. You can also checkout the AGW home page for more information and updated version.

from wx.lib.agw import ultimatelistctrl as ulc

self.uListCtrl = ulc.UltimateListCtrl(self, -1, agwStyle=ulc.ULC_REPORT | ulc.ULC_SINGLE_SEL)
