Creating a widget that can accept HTML + Widgets in UiBinder (Without using HTMLPanel)

[Ali Akhtar]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a container widget which can accept html within uibinder files, without extending from HTMLPanel.

If I try to implement `HasHTML`, then I can only pass in HTML without being able to pass any widgets.

If I try to extend from ComplexPanel and override the add(Widget child) method, same as HTMLPanel does, then passing in HTML doesn't work.

Surely UiBinder isn't hard-coded to only allow HtmlPanel to accept panels + widgets? 

I'm trying to reduce the amount of boilerplate needed for displaying a form. (Right now I have to use a FormPanel containing a HtmlPanel which contains the actual form code. I'd like to be able to just use one widget which contains my html embdedded within the formPanel and HtmlPanel)

HTMLPanel has its own HTMLPanelParser used by UiBinder which makes mixing HTML + Widgets possible, so yes it is kind of hardcoded.

IMO that parser interface should be made external and it should allow any widget that implements this interface to have html within UiBinder. I'm surprised it wasn't done that way to begin with.
