I built a couple C++ templates that handle this for me. Basically, I've got
a database template wrappering all the Dm* calls I needed and a table class
to handle a basic one column, variable height row, owner drawn table. The
table class gets a reference to the database when it's constructed and
relies on it to retrieve the appropriate records. The key was a late
addition to the database class to "filter" records. Setting the filter
caused it's next and previous methods to skip non-matching records. The
table had no idea of the filtering going on. Worked well.
