Before I cook up my own, I'm looking for a header control that will allow dynamic resizing of columns in a field with tab stops and vertical grid on.

I tried Chip's altFldHeader but it has the limitation of being tied to the stack/card width, so if you have a field with many columns that need to allow data to be viewed: date, 1st name, last name,addressa, address2, city,state,zip,country, plus phone email CC# and even more -- you need to set the field to be scrollable horizontally and the header needs to flow left and right along with the field. All of altFldHeader actions are tied to stack re-size and all the buttons for the columns out of view on the right try to fit themselves in the card width and it breaks.

I'm not looking for a lot of bells and whistles so I don't want to go with the data grid, I'm so used to processing columnar lists all these years I hardly ever get to a point where I feel the need to use the data grid as most use cases for raw "in-house" data processing don't require it. I'm an old "tab delimited" man
