I've been searching the net for different things about the win32 API, but it seems all information on it is rather sparse.

I am looking to create a simple window that shows a list of items, however I want to display different columns of data for each item, in a table-style format, where the user could perhaps be allowed to resize the different column widths.

If at all possible, I'd like to also be able to change the background colors of different rows, in the code, between just a general white, red, yellow, or green.

And the user would also be allowed to right click different rows, and be able to call a function on them, or copy the data to the clipboard (but that part is a different story).

Now, I've found list-viewer objects(?) that can be placed in the window, buttons, and right-click menus... but I cannot figure out how to do a table, using the Win32 API. I haven't even really read up on background colors for anything other than the window itself, either.

Is there a different, better framework I should use for this, or are there some functions or items that I've been missing? All help or guidance on the idea would be appreciated...

I'm using MSVC++ to do... everything that I'm working on.
