How can I associate custom widgets with TreeItems in SWT? [message #1095823]

I have created a custom widget--an SWT Group that consists of several buttons, labels, images and perhaps several other widgets I might need to add in the future. I would like to make this custom widget a tree item, so that I can get the indentation and the expand/collapse functionality of a tree.

Here is an example that shows what I am trying to achieve. This example was created with GWT.

index.php/fa/16052/0/

The SWT TreeItem has methods to set the text and the image, but I could not find a way to make the tree item be a custom widget. If there it is not possible to associate custom widgets with SWT tree items, suggestions about other ways to organize custom widgets in a tree with indentation and expand/collapse functionality would be very helpful too. Thanks!

Maybe you can use recursively a PGroup

It seems to me that PGroup allow any kind of widget when expanded.
