>I put this code in the click event of a textbox in a column in a grid. I was looking for an easy way to highlight the entire row when this textbox was clicked. This code works but I don't understand why. I actually typed it, read it, processed it, and almost deleted it offhand just because it looked so wrong. It bothers me more that I don't understand why it works than if I had never come up with a solution in the first place.

Ken, something you make clear!

You need to set the DynamicBackColor for One Time only!

* i.e. at Grid.init()

This.SetAll("DynamicBackColor", "IIF(ThisForm.curRecNo<>RECNO(),256^3-1,RGB(0,255,0))","Column")

RECNO() is the Current Record Number,
Add a new property to Form to carry the current record

* at Grid.AfterRowColChange

ThisForm.curRecNo = RECNO()

I need to mention a point:

There should be NO SPACE for assigning that property!

Thisform.grid1.column1.DynamicBackColor = "RGB(255,0,0) " && don't work!

Thisform.grid1.column1.DynamicBackColor = "RGB(255,0,0)" && work!
