I'm trying to add a feature to a messaging system so that it will highlight all occurrences of a particular username, similar to the MSDN Library help where after searching for the keyword, all occurrences of the keyword will be highlighted. however, the object that the messaging system uses is a data grid, and I'm not able to change the background of particular words (to highlight). you can only change the background of the entire grid. any advice on how to do this would be greatly appreciated. or any insight as to how Microsoft does this simple feature would also help. thanks!
