table row selection

I know this has been asked (I've read all the other posts on this same issue), but I'm not having luck with the "official" way of doing this.

I am trying to make an entire row of a table (set in Hot mode) to become selected if any of its cells are clicked.  Here is my callback:

int CVICALLBACK TableTest (int panel, int control, int event, void *callbackData, int eventData1, int eventData2)
{
 	Point cell;
	switch (event)
	{
		case EVENT_LEFT_CLICK:
			GetTableCellFromPoint(panel,control,MakePoint(eventData2,eventData1),&cell);
			if (cell.x == 0 && cell.y == 0) return 1; // Not on a row/col
			SetTableSelection(panel,control,VAL_TABLE_ROW_RANGE(cell.y));
			break;
	}
	return 0;

 What I'm seeing is that the SetTableSelection just doesn't do what it's supposed to do.  I can break the function at the GetTableCellFromPoint and I can see the correct row get put into cell.y, but then selecting the row fails.

I found a good comment on this other thread about the control mode of the table.  That poster claimed that if the table is in non-Indicator mode, my callback should swallow the event.  Ok, I tried that and it sort of works.  I can see the row selected, but it's a strange highlighted effect, not a solid dark gray cell background. See the attachment (I've highlighted the row that had been clicked).

Which leads to more questions.  On a Hot table, with traditional events that are NOT swallowed, which event is creating the dark gray background selection of a cell?

For grins, I also tried putting my table into Indicator mode and not swallowing any events. But there there is no selections at all.

So I'm just very confused about this.  What am I doing wrong?
