How to add rows which I want to a table?

I created a table on a form and when the form is being created, the table appears with only 1 row and 1 column.
If I have 3 entries, how do I compute a function to allow me to add another 2 rows and 2 columns? Therefore, it is to say that if the user had 4 entries, he can click on a button that allows him to add the no of rows and columns he want.

How do I achieve it?
I try using this command -> @Command([EditTableInsertRowColumn]) but I do not understand how to make it workable.
Pls help.
Thanks.

Hey Kopibean,

I think that there is a little miss understanding from you.
The command EditTableInsertRowColumn, is only for design mode.
Example
You have create a table in design mode.
And you want to add a column, than you can choose between Table, Insert Row or this command, it's just the same.

OR

If you've a rich text field, where you've added a table, and you want to insert a new row than you can choose this command or Table ==> Insert Row.

But you can't add a row with fields by this method, in the client.
What you can do is make a table with the maximum count of rows and columns, and hide a couple of rows or columns depending to the value the user choose.

This is the only method.

When your application is for use on the web, you can achieve this using HTML-coding, but it's quite complicated if you don't know HTML to explain.
So let me know if it's a web application before I start...
