>I have yet to find a way to show which record you are on in a grid unless the grid has focus. The closes I have come is once the grid has focus and looses focus, the row that was last selected is a different color. But, if you navigate to a different row the colored row will not change until the grid has focus again.

You can do this in several ways. I store the record number of the cursor the grid is based on, and increment it in the gotfocus event of all the grid fields. In the init and when of the grid I have the following code, which results in the record you are on being highlighted in gray. Onrecord is the variable that stores the cursor record number. If you want this to work when you are off the grid, make it a method and just set onrecord before calling it.


this.SetAll("DynamicBackColor", ;
"IIF(onrecord=recno('itemlist') and itemlist.record<>0, rgb(192,192,192) ;
, RGB(255,255,255))", "Column")
