The wxBook states, under the wxListItem class, "wxListItem is a class you can use to insert an item, set an item's properties, or retreive information from an item"..."Other functions set various additional visual properties: SetAlign, SetBackgroundColour, SetTextColour, and SetFont. These don't require a mask flag be specified. All wxListItem functions have equivalent accessors prefixed by Get for retrieving information about an item."..."An alternative to using wxListItem, you can use set and get properties for an item with wxListCtrl convenience functions such as SetItemText, SetItemImage...and so on"

That said in the example that followed, a wxListItem was created first that was then used to create the columns. So in print, at least, it seems that this is the way to format the column headings. Try adding colour/font calls to the example below after appropriate translation from C++ :).

// Insert three columns
wxListItem itemCol;
itemCol.SetText(wxT("Column 1"));
itemCol.SetImage(-1);                    # itemCol.SetFont(....) etc
listCtrlReport->InsertColumn(0, itemCol);
listCtrlReport->SetColumnWidth(0, wxLIST_AUTOSIZE);

itemCol.SetText(wxT("Column 2"));
listCtrlReport->InsertColumn(1, itemCol);
listCtrlReport->SetColumnWidth(1, wxLIST_AUTOSIZE);

itemCol.SetText(wxT("Column 3"));
listCtrlReport->InsertColumn(2, itemCol);
listCtrlReport->SetColumnWidth(2, wxLIST_AUTOSIZE);

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...
