MATLAB UITABLE Column Width GUIDE - Error Message

Hi Everyone,

So I have read at least 30 posts on how to change the column width of a uitable in MATLAB, and I've tried everything. Here is what I currently have:

% --- Executes during object creation, after setting all properties.
function uitable1_CreateFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles)
% hObject    handle to uitable1 (see GCBO)
% eventdata  reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles    empty - handles not created until after all CreateFcns called

ssizetemp = get(0,'ScreenSize');
ssize = ssizetemp(3);
ssize = ssize * 0.11835443037974684; % Where x is the size of the table relative to the screen.
%If the table occupies the whole screen from left to right, it's a 1. 
%This works best when you specified the position of the table with normalized units in the 
%first place. That way you know the exact value of x.

set(handles.uitable1,'ColumnWidth',{0.5*ssize,0.5*ssize});
%Sample table with 2 columns. Adjust the numbers whatever way you want making sure
%they add up to 1.

% Update handles structure
guidata(hObject, handles);

and I keep getting this error message:

Attempt to reference field of non-structure array.

Error in BatchProcessingTool>uitable1_CreateFcn (line 116)
set(handles.uitable, 'Data', data, 'ColumnFormat',{0.5*ssize,0.5*ssize});

Error in gui_mainfcn (line 95)
        feval(varargin{:});

Error in BatchProcessingTool (line 42)
    gui_mainfcn(gui_State, varargin{:});

Error in @(hObject,eventdata)BatchProcessingTool('uitable1_CreateFcn',hObject,eventdata,guidata(hObject))

Error using struct2handle
Error while evaluating uitable CreateFcn

which I suspect is due to the function not being properly initialized. So here is my question: How can I edit the column width of a table that was created with GUIDE?

Any/all help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Found a solution thanks to a co-worker! In the uitable properties, if you click on "ColumnEditable" you can actually adjust the width of each column.
