Hi Kelly

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately since Covid hit, my client's area of interest has taken a bit of a downturn and he's being very careful with spending. I think updating to Studio 11 will have to wait a while.

In the meantime  did a quick test with complex grids, and they do exactly what I want, though with a slightly greater overhead, I imagine.

Regards

When not kColorDefault the specified color only applies when the control has the focus. The $selectiontextcolor property is the text color of selected lines; kColorDefault means use the default color. When not kColorDefault applies irrespective of whether the control has the focus.

So if you're in Studio 11, you might look at using $selectiontextcolor, which doesn't change when losing focus.
