Hi Nadya.

I was trying to find your message how to determine Windows color scheme to use in highlighting (to append to your response), but didn't succeed. May be you can better find this message in yours? Or re-post it again, sorry?

You can use the WSH like so:

loShell = CreateObject( 'WScript.Shell' )
lcBgColor = loShell.RegRead( 'HKCU\Control Panel\Colors\Hilight' )

*** This returns the RGB values of the highlight color as space delimited *** set of values. In order to use this to set the background color for the *** current grid row, call this code from the grid’s Init():

lcBgColor = 'RGB( ' + STRTRAN( lcBgColor, ' ', ', ' ) + ' )'
lcNormalBg = loShell.RegRead( 'HKCU\Control Panel\Colors\Window' )
lcNormalBg = 'RGB( ' + STRTRAN( lcNormalBg, ' ', ', ' ) + ' )'
This.SetAll( 'DynamicBackColor', ;
	"IIF( RECNO( This.RecordSource ) = This.nRecNo, " + ;
     lcBgColor + ", " + lcNormalBg + " )", 'COLUMN' )

Or, if you don't like the WSH, you can always use the WinAPI GetSysColor() function, but I don't have the syntax for that at my fingertips
