SetCellHighlightPenWidth(0). Note that the cursor will still be
"present" and that may affect the way your user interacts with the
grid unless you provide overridden behavior. For example, arrow keys
to navigate may not be intuitive (since they'll be moving the
invisible cursor, not scrolling the grid).

Set them to 0 height/width.

Congratulations, I look forward to seeing it.
