Highlight current row and column

I''m wondering what is the best way to highlight the current row and column to which the current single cell selection belongs. It would end up looking like a big "plus sign" with the intersection at the current cell. Note 1 - I''m hiding the row and column headers in my GridControl. Note 2 - My cells have different backgrounds, some white, some grey, so they would need to retain those when you move off that cell. Thanks!

Try handling these two events.
private void gridControl1_PrepareViewStyleInfo(object sender, GridPrepareViewStyleInfoEventArgs e)
{
	GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell;
	if(cc.RowIndex == e.RowIndex && e.ColIndex > 0)
		e.Style.BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow;
	else if(cc.ColIndex == e.ColIndex && e.RowIndex > 0)
		e.Style.BackColor = Color.LightGoldenrodYellow;
}

private void gridControl1_CurrentCellMoved(object sender, GridCurrentCellMovedEventArgs e)
{
	GridCurrentCell cc = this.gridControl1.CurrentCell;
	if(cc.MoveFromRowIndex != cc.MoveToRowIndex)
	{
		this.gridControl1.RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Row(cc.MoveToRowIndex), true);
		this.gridControl1.RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Row(cc.MoveFromRowIndex), true);
	}
	if(cc.MoveFromColIndex != cc.MoveToColIndex)
	{
		this.gridControl1.RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Col(cc.MoveToColIndex), true);
		this.gridControl1.RefreshRange(GridRangeInfo.Col(cc.MoveFromColIndex), true);
	}
}
