Hi You can iterate through ListBox row and based on requirement Brush and Graphic objects to color the row. Example code as below: private void ListBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e) { e.DrawBackground(); Graphics g = e.Graphics; Brush myBrush = Brushes.Black; Brush myBrush2 = Brushes.Red; g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Silver), e.Bounds); e.Graphics.DrawString(listBox1.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font, myBrush, e.Bounds, StringFormat.GenericDefault); for (int i = 0; i { for (int j = 0; j { if (listBox1.Items[i].ToString().Contains(existingValue[j])) { e.Graphics.DrawString(listBox1.Items[i].ToString(), e.Font, myBrush2, e.Bounds, StringFormat.GenericDefault); } } } e.DrawFocusRectangle(); }

Thanks Guys. I thought it over, could it be done with events? I dont really understand events yet. I thouht that the Listbox of Form1 would subscribe to the state change in the Routers. Could you please help with that too?
