Nope, it doesn't work. In fact, m_bHideSelection does the exact opposite:

if (GetControl()->HasFocus())
{
   pItemMetrics->clrForeground = pPaintManager->m_clrHighlightText;
   pItemMetrics->clrBackground = pPaintManager->m_clrHighlight;
}
else if (!pPaintManager->m_bHideSelection)
{

pItemMetrics->clrForeground = pPaintManager->m_clrSelectedRowText;
pItemMetrics->clrBackground = pPaintManager->m_clrSelectedRow;
}

The correct solution is quite obvious:

if (!pPaintManager->m_bHideSelection || GetControl()->HasFocus())
{
pItemMetrics->clrForeground = pPaintManager->m_clrHighlightText;
pItemMetrics->clrBackground = pPaintManager->m_clrHighlight;
}

Also we added the above 2 properties for this exact purpose.

From COM help file:

"Can be useful when the report loses focus and you do not want the color of the focused row to change."]]> Thu, 03 Jul 2008 09:43:35 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11285&PID=37777&title=tip-always-show-selection#37777 <![CDATA[Tip: Always show selection : Is this what you are talking...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=11285&PID=37775&title=tip-always-show-selection#37775 Author: SuperMario

Is this what you are talking about?

GetTargetReport()->GetPaintManager()->m_bHideSelection = FALSE;

I know many of us want the selection to be visible even when the report control loses focus. It turns out this is quite tricky to accomplish, but I found a quite simple solution:

Derive a custom class from CXTPReportPaintManager and override RefreshMetrics:

virtual void RefreshMetrics()
{
CXTPReportPaintManager::RefreshMetrics();

m_clrSelectedRowText = m_clrHighlightText;
m_clrSelectedRow = m_clrHighlight;
}

good tip.

thanks znakeeye !
