How to select a cell instead of a line in a table

[Kresten Bjerg]

Hi
I have a function in a standalone, where user can select an item in a scolling field,
( with locked text and list behavior),and do things with the thus selected "target".
Now I want to improve the users interface, and replace the inconvenient long scrolling
 to see the bottom of the list.
I will instead present all the selectable  items in a wide rectangular field,
 so all can be seen at once. 
I found an approach, by placing the items in a 7 collumn table, but found, that the select 
would select a whole line of items 
(logicaly enough , as list behaviour had to be set, in order to produce a "selected item").
Is there a way, where the handler can limit its choice to the precise cell clicked in the table ?.
