You may want to port GWindows.Simple_Sheet. You'll notice the similarity
between GWindows and GNOGA [?]

Subject: [Gnoga-list] Suggestions for Spreadsheet-Like Display
I'm wondering what to use to obtain a spreadsheet-like display. (No, I'm not
writing a spreadsheet, but I want to display data that way.) I want something
where the user can scroll through multiple rows and select an entire row by
clicking anywhere in it. Each row consists of a number of columns, the same
number for all rows, and a given column is the same width in all rows. I'd also
like to be able to set the highlighted row from the program.
The Selection_Type seems to have most of the capabilities I want: scroll through
multiple rows, select an entire row, set the highlight. I don't see how to get
the columns, though.
It might be possible to do something with a Text_Area_Type, but it doesn't seem
ideal.
A Table_Type seems like the easiest way to get the columns, but seems to have
some problems with the other features.
Any suggestions?
