In this case, I've been putting the ID column off to the right and tabbing it off the display. I have a lot of tables with far more columns than they show, for example, a 16 column table with 4 columns showing.

This makes it easy, when the user clicks on one row, to show item detail, just "replace tab with cr" and you have all desired properties for display in a separate field.

Although of course a better table object would be a huge help to folks like me, check out the functionality of these grids:

Suppose you want to display records from a database in a multi- column list field. You'll want to keep track of the ID field, but that's just noise to the end-user so you don't want to display it.
