Those properties work fine for the cell that has focus, but does not seem to work
for the entire grid. This is what I am Trying to do ... The grid is read only and has
a fixed x and y count.

COL1 COL2 COL3 ...
cell1 red wht wht
cell2 red wht red
cell3 red wht red
cell4 wht wht wht
cell5 wht wht wht
...

The Background color has to be set based on whether the cell is empty or not ..
