    If the view’s OptionsSelection.EnableAppearanceHotTrackedRow option is enabled, the grid control highlights rows under the mouse cursor using special background and foreground colors.

    The default row hot-track colors are different for different skins. Use the view.Appearance.HotTrackedRow property to specify custom background and foreground colors used to paint hot-tracked rows (the ForeColor, BackColor, BackColor2 and GradientMode properties are only in effect).

    The default behavior overrides the column’s appearance settings (see GridColumn.AppearanceCell) by row hot-track colors.

    Row hot-tracking override column's appearance settings

    Enable the GridColumn.AppearanceCell.Options.HighPriority option to allow the column’s appearance settings to override the row hot-track colors.

    Column's appearance settings override row hot-track colors

    Grid control does not support hot-tracked rows when the GridOptionsView.AllowCellMerge option is set to true.
