I asked support in regards to this. The answer is the combobox in a listgrid is hidden and in the same group box as the listgrid (the combobox I was looking for was cboMiscCodeBound). Select this combobox, and you can set the autowidth option to manual and set the size of Col1ManualWidth.

Epicor did this with many of these types of native ultragrid controls (why? - Only they know as it is a pain in the neck.)
