How to capture resizing of QTreeWidget columns

Question

I need a column in my QTreeWidget which's width is always x pixels.

So i want to capture a resize of my QTreeWidget columns, to set the with back to my x on resize by user. But i can't find any Signal like columnWidthChanged.

Is there any way to call a function/slot when a columns with is changed? Or is there any other solution?

Instead of connecting to the sectionResized signal and reverting resizes the user made, why not prevent users from resizing the column in the first place, via

treeWidget.header().setSectionResizeMode(QHeaderView::Fixed)

or prevent resizing only individual columns via

treeWidget.header().setSectionResizeMode(colIdx, QHeaderView::Fixed)

That's easier to implement and much more "natural" to the user.

The Signal is emitted by the header of the QTreeWidget. It's QTreeWidget.header().sectionResized(int column, int oldsize, int newsize)
