Row highlight disappears as background is set

[Huy]

Is there a way for me to highlight the cell with a background when it's selected?
By default, the row highlight is completely suppressed by setting the background (attached screenshot)

Thanks

Hi Huy,


Thank you for contacting us.

Looking at the example you referred, the behavior could be considered as expected. 
If you take a look at the default template of GridViewRow, you may notice an element DataCellsPresenter. This element is responsible for drawing cells in each type of row. 

Visually this element is rendered on the top of all elements, as part of GridViewRow's template. 

CellStyleSelector example uses the default WPF AccentBrush from our QSF-UI for WPF. 
In case you need to apply a background to a cell and to persist the default highlight of a row you should use a color, which allows transparency:

<Style TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell" BasedOn="{StaticResource GridViewCellStyle}">
    <Setter Property="Background" Value="#197709E6"/>
</Style>

May you verify how this corresponds to your needs?
