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;
}

Is this what you are talking about?

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

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."

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;
}
