You can set background color of individual cells. It's up to you to implement the exact logic you want.

If you want something that looks like a grid, maybe a grid would do. (Of course, I don't know your other requirements.)

As you create Table, you add any control(S) in that table, you need to refer those controls by code

ControlName.backgroundColor(backgroundColor(1,2,3));

I did it by overriding the Edit control method of the table control. and changed the background color of the alternating rows.
