Yes, possible by using an ownerdrawn CListBox.

You need to use the LBS_OWNERDRAWVARIABLE (or LBS_OWNERDRAWFIXED ) and other owner drawn related flags when creating the control, and after than you have to handle the DrawItem and MeasureItem stuff.

I don't know how that works exacly in straight Win32, but I think it's a good start.

Max.
