One feature of GUIKit is to also allow access to static public fields
through PropertyValue, so if you prefer 'readable' named code that will
also work in the future if the underlying objects decide to change
the mapped values you can also do the following:

   PropertyValue[{"myTable", "AUTO_RESIZE_SUBSEQUENT_COLUMNS"}]
   instead of 2

or even PropertyValue[{"myTable", "Auto_Resize_Subsequent_Columns"}] 
since
property value names (and event and method names) are case insensitive 
to
provide support for Mathematica's casing standards
