It should be possible to, in a convenient way, set the report's paint manager to always draw the selected row as if it had focus. Similar to the LVS_SHOWSELALWAYS style!

I vote for this too!

Will it be included in 12.0 release?

Why?

A blue selected line suggest that the control has the input focus...

Because to be consistent with MS ListCtrl and MS TreeCtrl, also used in our applications...

It would be great if this could be in a next version. I have been looking in a way to implement it myself but then I have to overwrite all of the following functions because they call CXTPReportControl::HasFocus.

CXTPReportPaintManager::FillGroupRowMetrics
CXTPReportPaintManager::DrawGroupRow
CXTPReportPaintManager::DrawLink2
CXTPReportRow::Draw
CXTPReportRow::GetItemMetrics
CXTPReportRow::DrawFixed

Because my derived class of the PaintManager is not a friend of CXTPReportRow you get into problems because of access to protected members. Isn't it possible to make this kind of adjustment easier by making CXTPReportControl::HasFocus virtual or by using some other logic.

Maybe it is possible to extend IsRowFocusVisible and have the focused logic in this function. This function can then return TRUE when the control has the focus and the row focus should be shown. If every function mentioned above would use this function (instead of HasFocus) there is just one place to overwrite to show the focus always. Unfortunately this function is also not virtual.

I've pointed out this bug before, and I also wrote a quite simple workaround for it:

Let me scream it out again: it's a bug!!
