Thanks for the response, James. I have the feeling that I am missing something simple ... I'm running the following code from the command line:

oForm = createobject("form")
oForm.show()
oForm.AddObject("lstTest","listbox")
oForm.lstTest.visible = .T.
oForm.lstTest.AddItem( "Hello (RED)" )
oForm.lstTest.AddItem( "Hello (GREEN)" )
oForm.lstTest.AddItem( "Hello (BLUE)" )

The following command should change the second row to green:

oForm.lstTest.ItemForeColor(2) = RGB(0,255,0)

but it changes all rows. I have also tried using the following command to make sure that the default setting for RowSourceType is, in fact, present:

oForm.lstTest.RowSourceType = 0

This does not seem to have any effect. Any thoughts on what I'm am overlooking? This has to be simple, right?
