REALbasic Listbox control in Mac style

Posted by Jakub Pawlak in Tutorials Nov 2nd, 2009 | 5 responses

When you are using Mac OS you can see in many software like iTunes, Adium, AppCleaner, AirRadar a cool looking Mac style Listbox control with white and blue cells. In this quick tutorial we will learn how can we create this kind of effect using REALbasic Listbox control and cell background paint function.

Listbox Cell Background Paint

Everything what we need is a Listbox control available on Window1 class and a code in Listbox1 Function CellBackgroundPaint (). After compiling the project we will get a nice looking Listbox control that we can admire in our application.

if row mod 2 = 0 then g.ForeColor = &cFFFFFF // white color else g.ForeColor = &cf3f7fb // blue color end if g.FillRect 0,0, g.Width, g.Height
