> You would need to drill into the inner table, nested inside the component, and modify its header renderer(s). There’s nothing directly exposed. Some reading:

You need to find the inner `JTable` (technically a `JideTable`, but that's not really relevant here) instance on the component. From there, you can call [`getTableHeader()`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/JTable.html#getTableHeader()) and then you can [`setResizingAllowed(False)`](https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/docs/api/java.desktop/javax/swing/table/JTableHeader.html#setResizingAllowed(boolean)) or `setReorderingAllowed(False)`.
