How to put gwt panels and widgets in CellList?

Question

I want to put a complex layout with text-fields and operation buttons for each cell in a CellList. So I want to put a GWT panel to organize the widgets.

Is it possible to put gwt panels and widgets in CellList? I tried to extend AbstractCell and override render(). But seems only HTML can be rendered. I didn't find a way to render normal gwt panels and widgets. CompositeCell seems going through List> automatically, you can not arrange widget as you wish. Also, I don't know whether normal widgets like PushButton can be used in CompositedCell.

Please give me a sample if you tried this before? Thanks a lot.

It is not possible to put GWT widgets or Panels in a CellWidgets.
CellWidgets are designed for rapid rendering of large amounts of data.
If you don't have that use case you can still use a FlexTable.
Otherwise you have to create a CompositeCell or AbstractCell and implement the render and event handling methods yourself.
