How to fix the column width of uitable so the user can't change it?

12 views (last 30 days)
It seems like column width in a uitable is always adjustable by the user which is annoying sometimes... Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks,
Niko

So I found the answer in case anyone else is looking for it... Diving into underlying java objects again (using the convenient findjobj function by Yair Altman):
jscroll=findjobj(mytablehandle);
jtable=jscroll.getViewport.getView;
jtable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setResizable(false);
jtable.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setResizable(false);
jtable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setResizable(false);
...
And use a for loop if your table has variable number of columns.

One pure MATLAB fix is to turn off column labels. It's a bit of a pain, but you can insert text labels above each table column if you are clever and/or patient. This keeps users from accidently resizing a column out of existence.
