{
if (e.ColIndex > 0 && e.RowIndex > 0)
{
//get the range of the selected cells
GridRangeInfoList range;
if(this.gridControl1.Selections.GetSelectedRanges(out range,false) &&range.AnyRangeIntersects(GridRangeInfo.Cell(e.RowIndex,e.ColIndex)))
{
e.Style.BackColor=Color.Red;
e.Style.TextColor=Color.Yellow;
}
}
}Private Sub gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Grid.GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs)
