You can use WinDrawChars to draw anywhere within the current draw window, so
unless you change the draw window or the Table Manager has changed the draw
window (and you can always change it to anything you want anyway), you can
use it to draw in the second column. However, if the second column is
editable you will get very undesirable results if the user taps anywhere in
the second column while you have drawn on it. So if you want to try this
you will also have to change the second column to not editable with
FldSetAttributes() for any rows where you have drawn over two columns. This
all seems quite messy to me, so you might want to think about doing
something else.
