wxPython : change colour of a DataViewListCtrl item
I'm pretty new to building UIs, so I apologize if my question seems dumb in any way.
I'm currently building a small interface which aims at displaying a report depending on several entry parameters.
At first, I wanted the report to be shown through a wxListCtrl (LC_REPORT) but the problem I encountered is that I can't set the background or the font colour of a "Cell", I can only do it for the complete row. Maybe I'm mistaken tho.
Secondly, I found that I could show a report in a wxDataViewListCtrl, but I must admit I'm kind of lost within wxPython documentation (wxDataViewItem, wxDataViewItemAttr, etc).
Is there a way, once I built the report, to change some cells settings specifically?

The wxDataViewCtrl is complex and not well explained. Setting a background color for just a "cell" is anything but easy. I suggest to use awxGrid. While it's also complex, it's much more easy to understand and deal with.

I might consider to do this, since I already used a wxGrid for another tool. But IIRC, in this case the first column is always not "editable", is it?

@ThylowZ, what do you mean by first column?

If you are going to report in a table format with some additional text formatting, as suggestedwxGridis a good choice.

@Igor, sorry, I don't know how to explain it better, but last time I used wxGrid I had, by default, a first column which was sort of a "vertical header" (sorry I'm not native english) ==> I had both a vertical and a horizontal "header". Here, I need all my columns to be identical format-wise, in the same way as a listbox report. Dunno if it's more clear...

You can definitely do what you want using the UltimateListCtrl widget. The wxPython demo even has an example of setting a single cell's background color to yellow. It looks like the items are of the following type: UltimateListItem. These have a _colour property that can be set.
The ObjectListView also might be a solution that is worth looking at: https://objectlistview-python-edition.readthedocs.io/en/latest/recipes.html#how-can-i-change-the-colours-of-a-row
