wx.grid.Grid.SetCellHighlightColour and wxPython 2.6.3.3 Help needed

I had some code running wxPython 2.4 on a Window XP machine which used to the Grid class SetCellHighlightColour() call succesfully

to set the cell highlight color to RED.

But once I migrate to wxPython 2.6.3.3 the SetCellHighlightColour() no longer works.

A co-worker has look into the issue and discovered :

wxPython 2.4:

dc.SetPen(wxPen(m_cellHighlightColour, penWidth, wxSOLID));

wxPython 2.6:

dc.SetPen(wxPen(IsInSelection(row,col)?m_selectionForeground:m_cellHighlightColour, penWidth, wxSOLID));

Apparently in wxPython 2.6 it just read system color of selection foreground and use this for highlighting.

Any workaround or ideas ?

thanks
