UITable Presentation (Columns/ Rows)

I am using app designer and on a UI Table I would like that the table would work "transposed". E.g The parameters would be on the rows and the new entries would be added on new collumns. This would show the data in a more natural way for this application and I have more lateral space (in X direction) on the GUI than vertical space ( in Y direction).
Is there any way to make the table and then just present it "transposed", with the rows in the place of the columns? Even if only visually...

As a natural uitable, no. The component supports no features to do that.
All you could do would be to recreate the table with the data transposed and associated column names, etc., as if the data were/are organized that way. But, the uitable would still work/look like a standard one and couldn't interactively add new column with any builtin controls, etc.; they would still be row oriented. To do anything else would require taking over all the keystroke callbacks and rehandling them to recreate a new uitable in place of the existing one to add a column, say...this undoubtedly would be fraught with much pain to get to even work at all and refresh rates and so on likely not good, too,.
All in all, I think not a feasible idea.
Thanks for the reply.
With all the research that I found, got to the same idea... Maybe a feature to include on the next release, if possible.
Might only need to be a visual representation and not the entire table built as collumn oriented.
I've not searched whether there's a Windows GUI object of the sort at all -- unless there is, the likelihood of anything being implemented is, I would venture, essentially zero. If there's a COM/ACTIVE X component out there in the wild somewhere, it would be at least theoretically possible to build a DLL to use it, but still undoubtedly a lot of work.
