Is it possible to show a selection border rather than back-colour in a DataGridView?

Question

My DGV has row BackColors set to various colours based on business logic. When a user selects the row the colour changes to the selected row BackColor thus obscuring the pre-set colour. I would like to preserve the original colour when a row is selected and indicate selection with (perhaps) a bold border around the selected row. Is this possible? Is there an easy alternative I'm missing?

EDIT To make it clear, this is a WinForms app.

Answer 1

Another possibility is to set the selection color to be a darker shade of the normal back color. This would be much simpler than having to reimplement the drawing of borders of selected rows.

So when you add a row with, say, a yellow background

Dim backColor as Color = Color.Yellow
row.DefaultCellStyle.BackColor = backColor
row.DefaultCellStyle.SelectionBackColor = Color.FromArgb(backColor.R * 3 / 4, backColor.G * 3 / 4, backColor.B * 3 / 4)

Multiplying each color component by the same number < 1 serves to darken the color, you could play around with different values here to see what pleases you the most aesthetically.
