Get UITable Physical Column Width

Hello Matlab Community,

I'm working on developing a custom ui component using app designer. The custom component is a uitable with filters. The table is made out of two uitable components, one stacked on top of the other. The lower uitable houses all of my data while the top uitable provides the headers for the entire table as well as the filtering options.

The problem I'm running into is that the column widths do not match up. If I set the column widths to "auto", the tables end up being misaligned relative to one another. I'm trying to see if there is a way to get the physical width of each column and set it programmatically for cases in which an app window size is changed or when a user manually adjusts a column. The end result should be that both uitables have the same array of column widths. See attached image for example.

Hey @Derek, is this issue still a limitation?

w = uitable

set(w,"ColumnWidth",{10})

g = get(w,'ColumnWidth')

I'm looking for a way to determine the physical column widths if matlab autogenerates the column widths. Alternatively, a way to calculate the needed column widths for max length of data within each column would be helpful. I'm not quite sure how to go about that task though.
