Not a stupid question. I've often wondered why there wasn't an API for
making a border on at table.  I think your best bet is to use TblGetBounds
and WinDrawRectangleFrame to get a border around the outside.

Column dividers would be a little trickier.  I'd like to hear what others
suggest, but if I were trying to do it I would first use TblSetColumnSpacing
to make a 1 px space after each column that needed a divider following it.
Then I'd use TblGetColumnWidth on each column (along with the y bounds of my
table) to calculate where to do a series of WinDrawLines.

Better yet, you might experiment with WinDrawRectangle (a solid rectangle)
*before* the table draws. If it's a pixel outside of the table bounds on
each side and you have a 1 pixel space between columns I think you should
get the effect of a bordered/dividered table when the table overdraws it.

I want to put a line border around a scrollable table in a form. Can anyone
direct me to a code example? I have the table working, just don't see how to
make a border around it like I see in many apps. Probably a stupid
question...
