How to get row and column of a moused-over cell in WPF DataGrid cell?

Question

I am working with WPF DataGrid. I want to be able to detect which cell (row and index) my mouse is currently hovered over then set focus/highlight that cell. I was able to find this tutorial on how to find row and index but it seems really complicated. Is there another way to do this?

Override DataGridCell template and then redesign it. It's relatively easy, you only need to add new trigger for IsMouseOver.
