Allows you to indicate that you want to try to keep the size of a column at the preferred 
size of the widest component in that column as the parent container component is resized. 
Any column that has been maximized won't shrink until the non-maximized windows are reduced 
to a width of zero.
@param column the number (0 based) of the column to keep maximized.
