I just can't make the setPreferredWidth method of TableColumn work as I
want to. Is there a way ?

Also, is it possible to make the column not resizable even if the whole
table is resized ?

Probably, unless what you want is something unreasonable.
What do you want (and what have you tried)? Show us some code?

I don't know. I'd ponder for a l-o-n-g time, though, before
deciding that my own ideas about good-looking layout should override
the wishes of the person actually looking at the screen. (Consider:
The person at the screen may have vision problems, and may have
expanded the fonts to some ENORMOUS size so he can read them more
easily. Unfortunately, your fixed-width column is now too narrow to
display one entire capital W ...)
