Just implement the cursor your self. Create a class named MyGridView that inherits GridView. In it, create an observer on yourself to catch the KeyPress event, and add two class variables (let's name them $X and $Y) to store the cursor coordinates. Catch the Data event too to define the background / foreground of the cell: Color.SelectededBackground and Color.SelectedForeground for the current cell (Row = $Y and Column = $X), nothing otherwise (the standard colors). Then each time you move the cursor, update the $X and $Y variables, and refresh the old current cell and the new one. If you don't want to use the Data event, you must use the MyGridView[X, Y] cell accessor.
