Ooops, missed your second question, about the parent widget. Here is the path: FlowPanel -> WidgetList -> DataGrid
Your comments above about the contraints are what made me ask my question in the first place. I even set the size of the DataGrid to 100% on the hunch that that would meet your rule that it must be "explicitly sized". Granted, I am not sizing the columns, which you also mention. Regardless, if my understanding is correct, in order to use DataGrid and CellTable interchangeably, I would have to make some changes.
