DListView background won't change

[LauScript]

On the back of a DListView there is a white background box.

all references to DListView below are things i'm doing on the DListView I created, not the derma control( for whatever reason someone would think that's what i'm talking about?)

DListView:SetDrawBackground(false); doesn't work

DListView.paint = function()end; doesn't work

DListView.paint = function return true; end; doesn't work

DListView.pnlCanvas.Paint = function() end; doesn't work

DListView:SetBackgroundColor( Color(0,0,0,0) ); doesn't work

I've tried fuckin everything and i've searched through the DListView lua file and still couldn't find what else to do.
Where the fuck is this white box being drawn at, how do i access it, and how do I override it's paint or at least set it's color.

Look into Skins. Notice it does a Derma_Hook( PANEL, "Paint", "Paint", "ListView" ) at the top.

[lua]SKIN.listview_hover = Color( 70, 70, 70, 255 )
SKIN.listview_selected = Color( 100, 170, 220, 255 )

SKIN.tex.Input.ListBox = {}
SKIN.tex.Input.ListBox.Background = GWEN.CreateTextureBorder( 256, 256, 63, 127, 8, 8, 8, 8 );
SKIN.tex.Input.ListBox.Hovered = GWEN.CreateTextureBorder( 320, 320, 31, 31, 8, 8, 8, 8 );
SKIN.tex.Input.ListBox.EvenLine = GWEN.CreateTextureBorder( 352, 256, 31, 31, 8, 8, 8, 8 );
SKIN.tex.Input.ListBox.OddLine = GWEN.CreateTextureBorder( 352, 288, 31, 31, 8, 8, 8, 8 );
SKIN.tex.Input.ListBox.EvenLineSelected = GWEN.CreateTextureBorder( 320, 270, 31, 31, 8, 8, 8, 8 );
SKIN.tex.Input.ListBox.OddLineSelected = GWEN.CreateTextureBorder( 320, 288, 31, 31, 8, 8, 8, 8 );

function SKIN:PaintListViewLine( panel, w, h )

if ( panel:IsSelected() ) then

self.tex.Input.ListBox.EvenLineSelected( 0, 0, w, h );

elseif ( panel.Hovered ) then

self.tex.Input.ListBox.Hovered( 0, 0, w, h );

elseif ( panel.m_bAlt ) then

self.tex.Input.ListBox.EvenLine( 0, 0, w, h );

end

end

function SKIN:PaintListView( panel, w, h )

self.tex.Input.ListBox.Background( 0, 0, w, h )

end

[/lua]

Is this a typo or did you actually do 'paint'? (It's [B]P[/B]aint, which you did do correctly here DListView.pnlCanvas.Paint )

[LauScript]

it was a typo, i did it correctly in file.

no, skins won't work here.( as in i don't want to use them, is there another way )

[Acecool]

Not that I'm aware of. By the way, you know that you can use partial skins, right? In other words, you don't have to create a huge skin file to replace ALL vars. Simply change what you want.

I know there's an example of this floating out there, an MOTD..
