sorry if this has been asked, I was unable to find a solution after I searched google for about 3 days.
I'm a n00b, sorry.
With the little background on programming I have I managed to add a custom control from this project: FilesListBox from codeproject, the small program I'm trying to make is to manage sessions of files so that they can be opened in bulk, a general file session manager.
Anyway, my question is how can I customize the way the listbox's items strings are viewed, currently they are like this:

The final goal would be to open a txt file on the left, see the filenames listed on the listbox on the right and open them all at one with the default app
As of the code, I believe the important part is somewhere in here:
protected override void OnDrawItem(DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
e.DrawBackground();
e.DrawFocusRectangle();
Rectangle bounds = e.Bounds;
if (e.Index > -1 && e.Index < Items.Count)
{
Size imageSize;
string fileNameOnly = Items[e.Index].ToString();
string fullFileName = GetFullName(fileNameOnly);
Icon fileIcon = null;
Rectangle imageRectangle = new Rectangle(bounds.Left + 1, bounds.Top + 1, ItemHeight - 2, ItemHeight - 2);
if (fileNameOnly.Equals(".."))
{
// When .. is the string - draws directory icon
fileIcon = IconExtractor.GetFileIcon(Application.StartupPath, _fileIconSize);
e.Graphics.DrawIcon(fileIcon, imageRectangle);
}
else
{
fileIcon =
IconExtractor.GetFileIcon(fullFileName, _fileIconSize);
// Icon.ExtractAssociatedIcon(item);
e.Graphics.DrawIcon(fileIcon, imageRectangle);
}
imageSize = imageRectangle.Size;
fileIcon.Dispose();
Rectangle fileNameRec = new Rectangle(bounds.Left + imageSize.Width + 3, bounds.Top, bounds.Width - imageSize.Width - 3, bounds.Height);
StringFormat format = new StringFormat();
format.LineAlignment = StringAlignment.Center;
e.Graphics.DrawString(fileNameOnly, e.Font, new SolidBrush(e.ForeColor),
fileNameRec, format);
}
base.OnDrawItem(e);
}
The full code of the class can be obtained on the codeproject page, but I paste the full code here: full FilesListBox.cs anyway, maybe a kind soul can take a look.
