Hi,
I tried a lot of things but it did not work.
Basically what I m trying to do:

for(i=0;i<2;i++)
pixels[i] = ConvertStringToPixel (UxGetWidget(scrolledList2), rendition_data[i].color);

for (i = 0 ; i < 2 ; i++) {
n = 0;
XtSetArg (arg[n], XmNrenditionForeground, pixels[i]); n++;
XtSetArg (arg[n], XmNfontName, rendition_data[i].font); n++;
XtSetArg (arg[n], XmNfontType, XmFONT_IS_FONT); n++;
renditions[i] = XmRenditionCreate (UxGetWidget(scrolledList2), rendition_data[i].color, arg, n);
}
rendertable = XmRenderTableAddRenditions (NULL, renditions, XtNumber (renditions), XmMERGE_NEW);\

if(sl->session.status==FAILED)
temp=XmStringGenerate ((XtPointer)buf,NULL,XmCHARSET_TEXT,rendition_data[0].color);
else
temp=XmStringGenerate ((XtPointer)buf,NULL,XmCHARSET_TEXT,rendition_data[1].color);

XtSetArg (arg[0], XmNfontList, (XmFontList) 0);
XtSetArg (arg[1], XmNrenderTable, rendertable);
XtSetArg(arg[2], XmNitems, temp);
XtSetArg(arg[3], XmNitemCount, 1);

XtSetValues(UxGetWidget(scrolledList2), arg, 4);

This is a recusive function call.I get the data one by one and I try to render it according to condition. Rest of the stuff can be assumed.
However this does not work and coredumps.Kindly help.
Thankx in advance.

It seems you assing some uninitialized data somewhere, could you show your code?

The following example draws colored text in XmList and has black color of selection cursor.
