I use a data bound TGrid just to show a number of favorite items and I
don't want any line to be selected.

I found this post:

<

<< 1. V1 TGrid.AlwaysShowSelection I set to False as grid is just a
display of information and I don't want any selection showing up. How to
do this in V2 ? >>

EWB 2's TGrid doesn't have an AlwaysShowSelection, so it will only show
a selection if the grid has focus.

I don't see this here. Unless I am doing something wrong with the
interface the selection is visible also without focus.

Uli,

That post of mine was backwards:  the row selection is *always* shown in a grid.

OK, then the solution will be to create a derived component with a
different interface, e.g. TNoSelectionGrid

Wouldn't setting the rowindex value to -1 work?

  DataSet1.RowIndex := -1;

Trinione,

I guess you mean TGrid.RowIndex. And yes: that works, but has to be
executed each time a record has been selected.
Thanks.

Correct on both counts. Guess a ShowHighlighter property would be nice. I myself have instances where I do not want it to be shown.
