The GWT Incubator contains this widget, but it doesn't provide the clean look and feel I am looking for. The Same page does show precisely the widget I would like to use:
A thin resize bar with the small middle arrow icon which is clicked to hide/show a docked panel on the side of the page.
The widget appears on many google services pages, which makes me suspect that it may be a common widget:
Google Reader
Slightly modified (animated) version on Maps
Does anyone where to find or know how to build this widget in GWT.
How about using a VerticalSpliPanel and overriding the OnClick event? On click you can hide your navigation panel.
I don't think Maps and Google Reader are build using GWT. I know Wave is, and it doesn't use the collapsible panel you're looking for... My guess is that this specific widget is not available in GWT but you may be able to find a suitable replacement. Let me know if you do.

I am looking for an Open Source lib for GWT 2.3+ which has dynamic TabbedPane (with close tab button, scrolling, events support etc). I googled but couldn't find any. So I need your skilled advice. Is there such a lib and where to find it?
Thanks
SmartGWT? here is the link to the showcase of TabSet component. What do you mean by events? EventBus? I was using the GWTP framework for this purpose.

You can easily build it as a custom widget in GWT.
You need a top panel to show your "tabs" and a panel below it to show a tab content. When a user clicks on a tab, you populate the bottom panel with a selected tab content. You can easily add a button to your "tab" widget and attach a ClickHandler to it to remove the corresponding tab from the top panel. This is basic GWT - you don't need an outside library for it.
You could look at the gxt advanced tabs example and the gxt overview
It is gpl3, but that said it is more like Android where the actual development is behind closed doors unless you have a support contract, and then the src code is available when a version is released.
There are some exceptions available if you have a FLOSS project that is not compatible with GPL3 -- say for example your project is under an Apache license but you want to include gxt (of course, the gxt portion of the code must still comply with gpl3 requirements)

I'm working on Eclipse RCP Viewer framework, i have a requirement to place a button widget in column of TableViewer.
I have been following the tutorials to develop my application
I don't find any widget inside the tableviewer, as in the example it was just an image, is it possible to place a widget, any idea please suggest me.
I've searched API to find any predefined method like getWidget() similar to getImage() ,that can be placed in col.setLabelProvider(), but there was none actually,How can i do this
you may want to use editing support or for instance DialogCellEditor

Has anyone seen or have an idea on how to go about creating widget that would function like the pop-down message bar here at stackoverflow?
I implemented one with absolute positioning. My entire page is generated by GWT, so it was (relatively) easy to use RootLayoutPanel.get().add(popupWidget), and then use RootLayoutPanel.get().setWidgetTopHeight(), etc, to animate the thing on and off the screen.
I have a project in which I need a way to display essentially a list of tabs, each with their own content pages, down the left side of the page. I'm using TabLayoutPanels elsewhere to good effect, but after looking at how they are constructed it seems like it would be quite a bit of work to undo Google's carefully constructed layout and get it to work in any other orientation than top-aligned.
This doesn't seem like it would be an uncommon layout, so does anyone know of a successful implementation of this kind of container?
Best you can do is use DeckPanel, and make your custom tab controls to switch visible widget in that DeckPanel.
I Am trying to create a Tab Panel where I can add and delete tabs on demand.
Where I am getting stuck is that if a potential user adds too many tabs the new tabs go off the screen.
Each Tab is to contain a text area widget where a user may enter text.
Is there any way of horizontally scrolling the just the TabBar and not the whole browser window?
I could use a scroll panel but I was hoping to scrol just the Tabs, not the panel contents.
I cannot see any available method in the com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.TabPanel API that will perform this function and no real way to split the panel.
Help!
It's not what you've asked for, but you might consider using a StackPanel instead of a TabPanel, since if the user can enter a long list of items it's generally better to have vertical scrolling instead of horizontal scrolling.
The gwt TabPanel isn't the greatest, and there's not a real easy way to do what you want. You could take a look at the tab widget in Ext-GWT, which scrolls the tabs, but I don't think extjs is generally a good idea.
There's a bunch of new layout-based widgets arriving with GWT 2.0. Look at TabLayoutPanel. It places tabs in a very wide container inside a div with overflow=hidden. You might be able to add some controls to scroll that container and get the effect you want.
Good luck, and report back if you get something working. GWT really needs more widget contributors.
