Someone may know better that I, but as far as I know, there is no easy way of doing what you want. You would probably have to do something a bit indirect, such as search through all of the cells in the given column, find the one that has the longest string, figure out how much width that string would require without wrapping, and then set the width of the column according to that cell. This is probably not what you wanted to hear, but maybe someone else can append or correct what I have suggested.
