Hey,We have a grid with a SelectionMode="Multiple". We need to display a different color to the CurrentItem from the other selected rows so the user can identify this row.How can we achieve this task?Thanks,Mano

Hi Mano, 
 
Thanks for contacting Syncfusion support. 
 
You can achieve your requirement by customizing GridCellTextViewRenderer. Please refer the below code example. 
 




public class GridCellTextViewRendererExt : GridCellTextViewRenderer 
{ 
    public GridCellTextViewRendererExt() 
    { 
 
    } 
 
    protected override void OnUpdateCellStyle(DataColumnBase dataColumn) 
    { 
        base.OnUpdateCellStyle(dataColumn); 
 
        if ((dataColumn as IElement).Element != null) 
        { 
            foreach (var item in this.DataGrid.SelectedItems) 
            { 
                var rowData = DataGrid.GetRowGenerator().Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.RowData == item) as IRowElement; 
                if (rowData != null) 
                { 
                    rowData.Element.BackgroundColor = Color.Green; 
                } 
            } 
            var currentItem = DataGrid.GetRowGenerator().Items.FirstOrDefault(x => x.RowData == DataGrid.CurrentItem) as IRowElement; 
            if(currentItem != null) 
            { 
                currentItem.Element.BackgroundColor = Color.Red; 
            } 
        } 
    } 
}
