>>>>>>I have a grid class that I just added current row highlighting color features to. However at runtime, the cell that the user is currently sitting on has two little rectangle vertical tick marks on the left and right side of the cell. What properties do I set to make those tick marks go away.

On the text box in the grid I set:
BackStyle = 0 - Transparent
Margin = 0
SpecialEffect = 1 Plain

Now I have a nice clean black thin border on the current cell. If I set the BackColor to the be the same as DynamicBackColor as well I get what I want. I just do not see these settings being talked about in the VCX examples here or when looking up past messages on UT. Maybe everyone else just likes the tick marks ?

I am working on adding these changes in my base class via SETALL() when lActiveRowEnable = .T.
