does it have a ColumnWidthChanging event? and would that support canceling? :)

Yes it has and supports canceling but user can change the width even it's canceled. Just the resizing animation isn't shown.

You can use the ColumnWidthChanging [^]event of the listview. But surprisingly, it seems to have a bug which MS has accepted. You can have a look here[^]. A possible workaround would be to cancel the event, and set the old width again. (kinda dirty...)
private void listView1_ColumnWidthChanging(object sender, ColumnWidthChangingEventArgs e)
{
e.NewWidth = this.listView1.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Width;
e.Cancel = true;

The trick is to also set the
NewWidthproperty to the existingWidth:private void listView_ColumnWidthChanging(object sender, ColumnWidthChangingEventArgs e)
{
e.NewWidth = listView.Columns[e.ColumnIndex].Width;
e.Cancel = true;
