Is there a way to completly prevent the blue back-ground coloring of focused cell?	Offer Har	Mar 9, 2009 - 2:36 PM
Dear Support, Our cells’ text have colors assigned to them, and on the blue back-ground it is not so visible. We only use a one cell or one row focus, so we would to have only the dotted lines around the focused cell/row to be rendered. Can this be done? Thanks, Ron.

Please override the `CExtGridBaseWnd::SelectionGetForCellPainting()` virtual method. It’s invoked when grid cells need to know whether they should use a selection highlighted background. You can also override the `CExtGridWnd::OnGbwPaintCell()` and invoke the parent class method with the modified `dwHelperPaintFlags` parameter which should have removed `__EGCPF_HIGHLIGHTED_BY_FOCUSED_COLUMN \| __EGCPF_HIGHLIGHTED_BY_FOCUSED_ROW` flags. This will remove the focus rectangle painting. After the parent class method invocation you can manually paint focus rectangle where you need it.
