Hi Bhavbhuti,

I had previously done this by adding a container around every command button when it got focus (and removing it when it lost focus). The container was opaque and set to the current windows highlight colour. Not sure how that would work in a grid though.

I want the user to be specifically aware that the focus is here and all he has to do is press enter and he will get a new record.
