Hi randall,

You can do this by handling CellFormatting event. Please consider the code snippet below:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.IsCurrentColumn && !e.CellElement.IsCurrent)
    {
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;
        e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.LightGray;
        e.CellElement.GradientStyle = GradientStyles.Solid;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.DrawFillProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

Should you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
