Not the GridHighlighter, but Grid DragDropper does something similar. While the grid is covered with click-transparent shape you still can make the text selection in a grid column textbox with the mouse through the covering shape. But MouseMouse (errr... MouseMove, sorry Larry, could not resist :) for the underlying control is not used there.
