How do I set the BackColor of specific cells when the row is activated? I am handling the BeforeRowActivate event and looping through the Cells collection to determine which cells qualify for a different BackColor (the cell must be empty and have an EditorControl of a certain type). The grid.DisplayLayout.Override.ActiveRowAppearance value set to SystemColors.Highlight. I can make it work by using grid.DisplayLayout.Override.ActiveCellAppearance.BackColor but I want more than just the ActiveCell. I followed Knowledge Base artice KB01748 and tried using the cells Appearance object but to no avail. See attached pic for a visual.
