Use grid right click event to hightlight row.

When I right-click on a row in a grid, I want that row highlighted a certain color.

This is very similar to the post here in this group: link
but I could not figure out from their responses what the solution was :frowning:

As per the request of this group, I will attach a tiny, runnable piece of code that demonstrates the problem.
The right click event is being fired, but the row is not changing color.

Here is the right-click handler:

def handler_onRightClick(self, event):
    print 'right click!'
    row = event.GetRow()
    #- Create the attr:
    attr = gridlib.GridCellAttr()
    attr.SetBackgroundColour('pink')
    self.grid.SetSelectionMode(Grid.SelectRows)
    #- Why doesn't this work:
    self.grid.SetRowAttr(attr=attr, row=row)
    self.grid.Refresh()

I’m attaching the entire, runable code to this message.
It’s driving me crazy, not being able to figure this out, considering everything else works like a champ.

Thanks!

Hello Alexander,

i’ve attached a working version of your example. I commented out some unneeded lines of code. I hope this is of help for you.
