You have to put some of your code here, you have to show what you ve done so far, after that I am pretty sure that someone will help you out with your problem.

Below method works fine for adding new items to the listbox but not in case when I am trying to change the forecolor of an existing item in a listbox.

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        listBox1.Items.Add("First");
        listBox1.Items.Add("Second");
        listBox1.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed;
        listBox1.DrawItem += new DrawItemEventHandler(listBox1_DrawItem);
    }

    void listBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
    {
        e.Graphics.DrawString(listBox1.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font, Brushes.Red, e.Bounds);

    }

Hope this clarifies my approach?
