Hello Guo, 

Thank you for the provided code snippet. 

Currently the merged cells of the RadGridView do not support selection. That said, you can change the visual style of the GridViewMergedCell when it is the CurrentCell. In order to that, you can extract and modify the ControlTemplate of the GridViewMergedCell for the theme that you are using. 

I am attaching a sample project to demonstrate the above mentioned approach. Note, that it uses implicit styling along with the NoXaml dlls, which is the recommended approach for modifying ControlTemplates.

I hope you find this helpful.

There is another problem.

In Cell SelectionUnit, how to change the background of the mergedCell when I select a cell in the same row?

For example, "Hanna" should change the background when  "28" is selected.

Hello Guo,

Thank you for the provided picture. 

I am afraid that the described requirement cannot be achieved out-of-the-box. The merged cells are actually drawn on top of the GridViewRows. In the provided picture the merged cell with value "Hanna" is over 2 rows in the RadGridView. Each row represents one data item, however the merged cells do not have a connection to the underlying data items, since they can cover multiple rows. With this in mind, it is difficult to notify the merged cell for the selection of a cell in an underlying row.
