We have FXTable, but this contains items (which are simple C++ objects,
not widgets.  FXTableItem is easily subclassed for custom drawing and/or
contents.

There is also FXMatrix, which arranges widgets in rows and columns; with
creative setting of colors and inter-child spacings you can also use it
as a (small) table.
