XForms: Multi-column list (table)

# To subscribers of the xforms list from "Mehalick RE (Richard) at MSXSSC" <RM186061@MSXSSC.shell.com> :

I have seen other X and UNIX based tool kits that include a table or multi
column list widget (GTK, Tcl/Tk, and Java Swing - JFC for example).

I have been able to make the Xforms browser look like a multi column list,
see http://web.wt.net/~dblhack/xmysql_r.gif as an example. I used a text
widget for the columns and scroll it when the browser scrolls. This
technique works fine, but it lacks the ability to edit directly in the
browser (like a spreadsheet) and also just doesn't look as nice as
http://www.gtk.org/screenshots/clist.gif.

Does anyone have a better way to do this with Xforms? Are there any plans
to add a multi column browser or table to Xforms?

I really think Xforms needs this type of widget (form).

Thanks in advance,
Rick
