Hi,

please open up a property that allows to change the default brush/color the a selected or selected inactive cell is drawn with. So, I can set a different color than the default system color.

Thanks,

Tom

But the same properties can be accessed at design and runtime:
Inactive:
FlyGrid.SelectedUnfocusedForeColor
FlyGrid.SelectedUnfocusedBackColor
Active:
FlyGrid.SelectedForeColor
FlyGrid.SelectedBackColor

oh, I hadn't noticed them before, are they new?
Also, how would you go about if you want to draw a border around the selected cell instead of setting a background color? What would be the simplest way to achieve this, considering that I'm already using a lot of derived nodes and columns?

No, these properties existing since v1.2

Implement IStyledNode method on your node and insert borders drawing in OnBeginPaint method. You can use CoolNode from Spreadsheet sample to modify CellFormat (add Borders property) and modify OnBeginPaint to implement borders drawing.

hm, why is info.cellSelected false when I click on a cell and it becomes highlighted? How can I tell which is the active cell?

info.cellSelected does not mean that cell is focused.
to determine focused state of cell you can compare
info.grid.Columns.CurrentColumn and info.col.

? With that I compare two column indexes, how am I going to know if a cell is selected with that?

[c#]
public class SomeColumn : Column
{
  //
  //....
  //
  protected virtual void PaintTextInCell(CellDrawInfo dci, Brush bkBrush, Color foreColor)
  {
    Columns cols = dci.grid.Columns;
    bool cellFocused = node.Selected && cols.CurrentColumn == dci.col;
    //......
  }
}

The same info - CellDrawInfo is provided for nodes and columns custom drawing.

huh? 2 messages ago you said I should implement this in OnBeginPaint of my node:

\"Implement IStyledNode method on your node and insert borders drawing in OnBeginPaint method. You can use CoolNode from Spreadsheet sample to modify CellFormat (add Borders property) and modify OnBeginPaint to implement borders drawing.\"

Your code sample isn't correct either anyways, because dci.currentColumn is of type column and dci.col is int. I don't know how to get the index of currentColumn?
