I have a class that colors the rows and 'current highlighted box' of a Grid in different combinations; although you use DynamicBackColor for the rows, you have to color the current box via the standard ForeGround/Background color properties of the Textbox (or whatever the control is)...

...also, the colors behave differently when you Click on a control within a grid as opposed to moving the cursor to that control or between controls (never figured this out...).

HTH,
