Could you be more specific?  There are multiple aspects of a table that 
could be resized: the whole table relative to other controls in a form, 
columns within the table, table row heights, etc.

SashForm is a container for multiple controls that share a certain 
amount of space on the screen.  It provides built-in support for 
resizing each individual control relative to the whole using internally 
managed Sash controls.  This may or may not be the right control 
depending on what your exact use case is.

Again, please be more specific about your requirements.  I can't tell 
what behavior you're trying to achieve without more details.  More 
details are good, screenshots or mockups are better, but snippets that 
anyone can run are best.
