The color of the hilited line is a property of the data grid. It is  
not set in the behavior script.

  If you go to the Colors & Patterns tab of the inspector then you can  
change the Selection Hilites color. This maps to the dgProp["hilite  
color"] property of the data grid.

Would changing the hilite color do what you need?

I did test out setting column background colors and the missing piece  
was setting the opaque of to true. Here is a modified version of the  
example script:

private command SetForeGroundColor
    if GetDataOfIndex(the dgIndex of me, "line has error") then
       set the backgroundcolor of me to red
       set the opaque of me to true
    else
       set the backgroundcolor of me to empty
       set the opaque of me to false
    end if
end SetForeGroundColor
