Make sure your listbox has an instance name, for example ‘myListBox’:

```auto

myListBox.setEnabled(true);
myListBox.setStyleProperty("arrow", 0x70AD52);
myListBox.setStyleProperty("face", 0xE9F2E6);
myListBox.setStyleProperty("scrollTrack", 0xD6E7CD);
myListBox.setStyleProperty("shadow", 0x8FC17D);
myListBox.setStyleProperty("darkshadow", 0x012258);
myListBox.setStyleProperty("highlight3D", 0x8FC17D);

```
