DataGridView Cell Editing Question

[ProgrammerJF]

Hello Everyone;

I have been able to set up and format my grid to my liking. However when I have the contents of a cell highlighted, it is always displayed with a blue background. I am wondering if this is controlled by Windows as I cannot find a way to change it. The selection fore color and selection background color work as I programmed those colors.

Many thanks for reading.

That's doesn't look like selection fore color and selection background color that you've set. It appears you've set the Style.BackGroundColor and the Style.ForeGroundColor.
To assist you with that we'll need to see your code...

Thanks, I discovered it is under the Windows registry; HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors, Sub Key Hilight. I changed the value there, rebooted and it is changed.

That’s a system wide change, which will only work on your computer. If you intend to distribute your app. it won’t be changed on any other computer…

Yes. I was confirming that windows controls that. You are correct, I would not want my user to have to reboot and all of that. I am able to change that color with a SetSysColors Function inside my program.
