I say, regarding to original title, if it's desired to hilite current row then dynamiccolors are sufficient and flexible enough both in respect to visual fx and speed. Secondly, regarding the other reply to Arnon, never be so sure that something can't be done. Details are in a thread months ago but as an overview clue a parallel related sql ordered table would supply the way for that white-pale green. Now I ask, how would you handle not only colors but fonts, currentcontrol, inputmask etc dynamically ? Dynamic*color is not only accessory properties of grid. Definitely David Frankenbach's shape approach is an state-of-art approach. I appreciate it but here dynamic*colors are sufficient IMHO.

I have found DynamicColor properties sufficient for most tasks also. The one exception to this is if you want to highlight the current row even if the grid does not have focus. Currently, the most often used solution (and I feel, the worst) is to make a property on a parent object to the grid which holds the current recno. The other solution is to use a shape object that places itself over the row.

This is one of those things I was hoping we would be able to see in VFP 6.0. Alas, grids--VFP's most buggy class IMHO--seem to have had very few improvements/bug fixes.
