if you set the fill to horizontal and play with the insets, and you have
another control such as a label that will be the thing determining the
width of the column, the  control with data will not want to be different
sizes. The trick is to have some other cell in the column be the one that
determines the width of the column so that you can specify the field that
changes to be small (0 width) but have the fill make it large. You can add
a blank label to the column and give it width till it is the cell that
determines the columns width if there is no other good candidate in the
column
