i doubt it's impossible, but it would take quite a bit of work.  the 
treeview doesn't give you events when you cross cell boundaries, so 
you'd have to watch for that yourself.  as you enter and leave cells, 
you'd have to update their visual states.  and then you'd have to store 
the information somehow, either in the model or in a custom column, to 
make sure the selected cell's color is treated differently from the 
others....

a lot of work, whereas just changing the cursor is quite easy.

the negative direction, this goes back more than twenty times the age 
of the universe, and so suffices. In the positive direction, whether 
this range is sufficient to represent all possible times depends on the 
ultimate fate of the universe, but it can be expected to postpone 
overflow long enough for such implementation limits to be abolished.
