Hi Helen,

The behavior you are observing is due to the lack of contrast between the row selection color and the cell text color, for the theme that you are using; the captions are indeed present.

It is certainly possible to get around this if you are trying to maintain the same theme, by creating a higher contrast between the active row highlight and the cell’s text.

One possible approach might include accessing the ActiveRowAppearance exposed from UltraGrid.DisplayLayout and setting the BackColor to White, effectively removing the appearance of the row highlight over the OptionSet and then setting the ForeColor to Black so that the text of neighboring cells of the active row remain visible when the row is selected.

Example:

void ultraGrid1_AfterRowActivate(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.ActiveRowAppearance.ForeColor = Color.Black;
            ultraGrid1.DisplayLayout.Override.ActiveRowAppearance.BackColor = Color.White;
        }

I have modified the sample that I provided earlier, to reflect this approach.

Please find the sample attached.

If you have any further questions, please let me know.
