GWT DataGrid resizes the columns

From what I understand the DataGrid auto resizes the columns. What I would like is DataGrid to respect the column widths I set, and to show the horizontal scrollers accordingly. Is there a way to achieve this?

DataGrid gives you complete control over the width of its columns.

For example, if you set the width of all columns in pixels except for one column which has a width equal to 100%, then all columns will have exactly the width you specified, except for the percentage column which will shrink or expand based on the width of a DataGrid itself. If you want all columns to have fixed width, then you should set the width of the entire DataGrid explicitly in pixels.

There is also an important .setMinimumTableWidth method. You can use it to tell the DataGrid that it can resize with the width of its parent container, but never be smaller than a certain number of pixels. In this case, if a parent container is too small to accommodate all columns at their desired width, the horizontal scrollbar will appear.
