Wait a minute... are you sure IndicateHighlight is false for the grid?
Because that's not the same as the CurrentRowColor. IndicateHighlight
uses the Windows highlight color, and it kicks in when the Grid
*loses* focus.

I just added these two handlers to an app of mine:

void __fastcall TFormStage::grLeerlingenExit(TObject *Sender)
{
grLeerlingen->CurrentRowColor = clWindow;
}

void __fastcall TFormStage::grLeerlingenEnter(TObject *Sender)
{
grLeerlingen->CurrentRowColor = 0x00CEFFFF;
}

And it works like a charm! Of course if you use it for more grids, you
must cast Sender to TIB_Grid*.

Also realize that clicking on a non-windowed control (like a
TIB_UpdateBar) doesn't take the focus away, so this will leave the
current row in CurrentRowColor (not Windows' highlight color).
