I want to render a text field and a button within a cell of a table. It's too easy in Swing but i am not able to find any example for SWT.
I'd very appreciate an example using WindowBuilder.

Java Swing: I recently started learning Swing and I want to add several labels, one button, and three combo box INSIDE A Drop Down Pane! When the user clicks the drop down pane, you can see labels, textfields and comboboxes which will contain the values and when the users clicks drop down pane again, then all the textfields, labels etc are hidden. Is it possible and if yes then could you please help me out (code would be very much appreciated). If you did not understand the design then please visit emirates.com and click on 'Book a Flight'! I'll be trying to implement that type of design
If you want a multi-row data display object, and you want multiple interactable components on the row, don't use the wrong tool, a JComboBox, for this. Use a better tool: a JTable.
I have a Swing based application containing a JTable. Now I would like to allow each row to be updated or deleted, using a unique row ID. So I want to add an update and delete button to each row, which have the capability to support an ActionListener. However, I have no idea how to do this using NetBeans.
To display a button in a column you need to create:
a custom renderer to display the JButton
a custom editor to respond to the mouse click
Read the section from the Swing tutorial on How to Use Tables. The section on:
Using Custom Renders will explain the basics of using a renderer
Using Other Editors will explain the basics of using an editor
Working example are provided in the tutorial that you can download.
You can check out Table Button Column for one approach.
The code uses a single class to implement the custom renderer and editor that you will need for the column to display your text as a button.
Without resorting to wrapping a GWT TextArea in a separate DIV, how to add a search icon/magnifier icon inside the text area?
No, Not possible.Text area is not a normal Widget.
GWT's TextArea maps directly to a HTML TextArea thats why you can only set text to it. The only thing you can do ist create a Grid/VerticalPanel/HorizontalPanel and put in each cell a separate TextArea.

I'm trying to make it so when I tab to some text fields on in my JFrame the data in the text field will be highlighted. I thought I had done this in the properties before but I am not seeing the option now. Does anyone know how to do this?
You could use a FocusListener to work out when your field has focus (tutorial here).
Decide whether you want to select the text in the field, or whether you just want to change the background color. It's not quite clear what you mean by highlight.
