Table Problems

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Hi Len,

What you need is not so hard. 6 columns = 1-6 fields...

Just make a number of fields in the fashion of columns.
Each should be scrolling (you can align the text left or right).

Have the leftmost fields scrollbar be at a lower layer than the 
right most so the scrollbar can be hidden and you have a nice
table...

Then you need to auto-hilite and scroll the fields together which is
quite easy with scrollbardrag and mouseup events...

cheers
Xavier
