Table Problems

I'm trying to get a simple table of data from a database to display like
a table object "should" and I can't seem to figure it out. The data
consists of both text items and dollar amounts. Some of the text items
are left aligned and some are centered in their column. The dollar
amounts are supposed to be right aligned (better still, decimal
aligned). I can make every cell left OR right OR centered but I can't
make individual columns align each in their own way.
What am I missing? I had to resort to an individual field for each cell
in one part of the app but in that case I knew there would never be more
than 6 columns and 5 rows. The data I'm trying to do now could have a
hundred rows in it (although the column widths would be fixed) and will
need a scrollbar to move through the entire list.
Is this something Revolution can do? If not, is this basic control
planned for some future version? Can I somehow create my own table
widget (say using TkTable as a starting point) and have it integrated
into Revolution? This seems like a very basic capability for a GUI/RAD
system.
Thank you,
Len Morgan
