    This is a multi-select listbox? The Selected colors are dictated by ForeColor and BackColor settings.
    For instance, BackColor of green and ForeColor of red, the bar will be purple and characters within the bar are blue. Here's an explanation I found:

    "The highlight color is handled by the Windows API. It takes the binary inverse of the back color. That's why you see black as the highlight for white, and vice versa. The ugly green is the inverse of 16777215. The only way to change the color of the highlight, is to change the back color.
    Somebody somewhere may have found a way to override the API, but I haven't seen it."
