Hi Jason,
 
You would expect that all items would be painted same color, but I think after BeforeDrawRow event, the RC repaints the selected row... Same way as you would display a MsgBox, the selected row becomes grayed and after the ReportControl has focus again the selected row will be blue again. 
 
Well it works, that's important

If I understand correctly, I think you want the inverse of thesituation that Aaron describes (e.g. the item/cell will be blue and therest of the row will be white). I don't think there is a property forthis (although InvertHighlight might be a useful PaintManagerproperty).

I have found a bit of a hack to get the desired results using theBeforeDrawRow event. Basically, you store the highligh colors atstartup and the set them the the non-highlight background &foreground colors. Then, in the BeforeDrawRow event, you can set theMetrics Backcolor and Forecolor properties to the highlighted colorsthat you stored earlier. Here's a sample:

I'm not 100% sure why the code works though, as I would have expected changing the Metrics backcolor to set the backcolor for the whole row (as it does if you change the Font.Bold property for example), but it does seem to only set the currently selected item/cell colors. Screenshot:




If this is not what you require, perhaps you could post a mockup of what you want the RC to look like?

Hi,
 
You need:
 
    wndReportControl.FocusSubItems = True
    wndReportControl.SelectionEnable = True
 
it will select entire row (blue) and the item you click will stay white

I use 2 reports: 1st report allows focusing on (single) subitems... then the 2nd report shows the details of the item selected in the 1st.
 
I need to focus the user's attention on the ITEM not on the ROW (plus I need same coloring when the 1st control has no focus)
 
However I can't find the setting for this in the paintmanager, which is limited to highlighting ROWS and doesn't bother with items.
(other than NOT highlighting the item, and highlighting the ROW, which is exactly the opposite of what I need (and expect!)
 
Do I need to resort to one of the event handlers and implement this all by my lonely self, of did I overlook the obvious?
 
Any ideas?
