By default you *should* be getting a border around the current cell. 
There are a couple of grid properties which set this behaviour:

EGW_CELL_BORDER	-- if True then draw border round current cell (this is 
the default)
EGW_CELL_BORDER_COLOR -- defaults to windows '3d dark shadow' system 
colour, which is black in the standard windows colour scheme

If you are not getting a border then possible reasons could be:
(i) the cell border property is not set to True, 
(ii) you are using a different windows colour scheme which renders the 
border color non-visible 
(iii) you have set the grid line colour (EGW_LINE_COLOR) to the same as 
the border colour
(iv) there is a bug in the library.

The border appears fine on my pc - could you try changing the border 
color to something bright (like yellow) to see if it appears on yours?
