Typically it is done with Column.DynamicBackColor expression, i.e.

* set one or more columns DynamicBackColor expression to
"IIF(mygridrecordsource.country = 'USA', RGB(255,0,0), RGB(255,255,255))"
* You can do it for all columns useng Grid.SetAll() method.

You can just download and use my GridHighlighter class, it has the conditional highlighting option.
