Steve, your solution works. Thanks. Again, not what I'd like to see (oop, inheritance and all of that) in B4x, but it certainly works for my problem.
A related question for anyone: Where would an average slub, like myself, find information on those methods in your code (getTableRow, getIndex)? What I mean is, is there B4x documentation or one of the helper projects that has these kinds of references for future problems and methods for various views when we run into a wall with what B4x provides natively? Or is this something you pretty much have to know java and javafx or look it up and translate from other languages found in stackoverflow, oracle documentation, etc?
