Row Highlighting using a container Object

FoxPro allows you to Display multiple rows per record in a grid control by replacing the default text box control with a container object in a one-column grid. The container class I set up contains text boxes with the appropriate data. However I lose the â??the current row highlightâ?? effect. I tried setting â??allowCellSelectionâ?? to .f.., but this also had no effect. I also tried the pre VFP8 method of using â??.SetAll("DynamicBackColor"â?? to emulate row highlighting; with no success. Does anyone have any workarounds to emulate this highlighting feature

Thanks

swag: Try setting the BackStyle of the container to transparent.

Thanks Trey

I set the BackStyle of the container to transparent. The container itself highlights, however the objects within the container do not. That is, the text boxes with the data overlap the highlighted container. I wonder if there is any way to dynamically change the backcolor of the text boxes ?
