The default list box that comes with Windows does not support this. To get
this effect you have to have an 'owner-drawn' control. This means that your
application is responsible for look of the control WIndows sends your
application messages when the control or parts of it need redrawing.

This is not a trival thing to do. One day I'll see what can be done to make
it easier for win32lib applications.
