Inside your custom row draw routine, you are already placing your text
in fake columns. Just draw a little vertical line between the two columns
just for that row.
As all of the rows get drawn, the vertical line will also get drawn for the
length of the table (well...it will be as long as the last visible row).
It should also invert properly if the row is selected if you do it this way.
