The following example demonstrates how to create owner-drawn ListBox items. The code uses the DrawMode property to specify that the items drawn are fixed sized and the DrawItem event to perform the drawing of each item into the ListBox. The example code uses the properties and methods of the DrawItemEventArgs class passed as a parameter to the event handler to draw the items. This example assumes that a ListBox control that is named listBox1 has been added to a form and that the DrawItem event is handled by the event handler defined in the example code. The example also assumes that items have been added to the ListBox with the text of "Apple", "Orange", and "Plum" in that order.
