DottedCellBorder

The current cell within the current row will be highlighted by drawing a dotted border around the cell. In Microsoft Windows terminology, this is usually called a focus rectangle.

DottedRowBorder

The entire current row will be highlighted by drawing a dotted border around it. This effect is similar to setting 0.

FloatingEditor

The current cell will be highlighted by a floating text editor window with a blinking caret (as in Microsoft Access).

HighlightCell

The entire current cell will be drawn using the attributes of the HighlightRowStyle property. This provides a very distinctive block-style highlight for the current cell.

HighlightRow

The entire row containing the current cell will be drawn using the attributes of the HighlightRowStyle property. In this mode, it is not possible to visually determine which cell is the current cell, only the current row. When the grid or split is not editable, this setting is often preferred, since cell position is then irrelevant.

HighlightRowRaiseCell

The entire row will be highlighted as in setting 3, but the current cell within the row will be "raised" so that it appears distinctive. This setting does not appear clearly with all background color and divider settings. The best effect is achieved by using 3D dividers and a light gray background.

NoMarquee

The marquee will not be shown. This setting is useful for cases where the current row is irrelevant, or when not wanting to draw the user's attention to the grid until necessary.

SolidCellBorder

The current cell within the current row will be highlighted by drawing a solid box around the current cell. This is more visible than the dotted cell border, especially when 3D divider properties are used for the grid.
