Greg,
I believe you can do that with a textTableItem. When your loading
procedure is called, the last parameter is a pointer to the field. Get
the attributes inside that function by calling
FieldAttrType attr;
FldGetAttributes(fld,&attr);
Then set
attr.justification = rightAlign;
attr.numeric = true;
Then set the attributes back to the field using
FldSetAttributes(fld,&attr);
How about that?
