Yes, it is. You need following:
- HWND of ListBox
- MSDN -> Name of message to do your task
- Know how to send windows messages. There is a lot of examples in the forum

Well, it isn't as hard as I thought. You need SetCtlColors instruction.

nsh


Name "ListBox Colors"

>OutFile "ListBox Colors.exe"


>Page custom nsDialogsPage


>Var LIST_1

>Var LIST_2


>Function nsDialogsPage

    nsDialogs::Create /NOUNLOAD 1018

    Pop$0


   ${NSD_CreateListBox} 0 0 150 180 Test

    Pop $LIST_1

    SendMessage $LIST_1${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

   SendMessage $LIST_1 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

   SendMessage $LIST_1 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SetCtlColors $LIST_1 0x3333CC 0xFFFFCC

    

   ${NSD_CreateListBox} 160 0 150 180 Test

    Pop $LIST_2

    SendMessage $LIST_2${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

   SendMessage $LIST_2 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

   SendMessage $LIST_2 ${LB_ADDSTRING} 0 "STR:Item"

    SetCtlColors $LIST_2 0x990033 0xFFCC33

    nsDialogs::Show

FunctionEnd

I have used the following code :
GetDlgItem $1 $HWND 1201
SetCtlColors $1 0xFFFFFF 191970

the listbox is created using ini.The color sets upon the selection of the items in the list box.How can i set the color at once instead of selecting individual items?

Its urgent - FOR YOU.

I recommend you using nsDialogs instead of InstallOptions.
