No, there is no way to *automatically* resize a column based on the 
width of the "widest" item's content width. The code that does the 
resizing would look something like this:

     def resizeColumn(col)
       maxWidth = 0
       0.upto(numRows - 1) { |row|
         itemWidth = getItem(row, col).getWidth(self)
         maxWidth = (itemWidth > maxWidth) ? itemWidth : maxWidth
       }
       setColumnWidth(col, maxWidth)
     end

If you are interested in this being added to FXTable, be sure to request 
it from Jeroen (FOX's author).

Hope this helps,
