GWT resizable panel

Question

Is there any way to have a \'Resizable\' panel in GWT.

By resizable I mean that if you you drag on the edge of Panel it can be resized accordingly.

Figured it out myself, here is an example:

public class DraggablePanel extends VerticalPanel {
    private boolean isBeingDragged = false;
    private boolean isBeingMoved = false;
    private Element movingPanelElement;

    public void setMovingPanelElement(Element movingPanelElement) {
        this.movingPanelElement = movingPanelElement;
    }

    public DraggablePanel() {
        super();
        DOM.sinkEvents(getElement(), Event.ONMOUSEDOWN | Event.ONMOUSEMOVE
                | Event.ONMOUSEUP | Event.ONMOUSEOVER);
    }

    @Override
    public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
        final int eventType = DOM.eventGetType(event);
        if (Event.ONMOUSEOVER == eventType) {
            if (isCursorResize(event)) {
                getElement().getStyle().setProperty("cursor", "s-resize");
            } else if (isCursorMove(event)) {
                getElement().getStyle().setProperty("cursor", "move");
            } else {
                getElement().getStyle().setProperty("cursor", "default");
            }
        }
        if (Event.ONMOUSEDOWN == eventType) {
            if (isCursorResize(event)) {
                if (!isBeingDragged) {
                    isBeingDragged = true;
                    DOM.setCapture(getElement());
                }
            } else if (isCursorMove(event)) {
                DOM.setCapture(getElement());
                isBeingMoved = true;
            }
        } else if (Event.ONMOUSEMOVE == eventType) {
            if (!isCursorResize(event) && !isCursorMove(event)) {
                getElement().getStyle().setProperty("cursor", "default");
            }
            if (isBeingDragged) {
                int currentY = event.getClientY();
                int originalY = getElement().getAbsoluteTop();
                if (currentY > originalY) {
                    Integer height = currentY - originalY;
                    this.setHeight(height + "px");
                }
            } else if (isBeingMoved) {
                RootPanel.get().setWidgetPosition(this,
                        event.getClientX(), event.getClientY());
            }
        } else if (Event.ONMOUSEUP == eventType) {
            if (isBeingMoved) {
                isBeingMoved = false;
                DOM.releaseCapture(getElement());
            }
            if (isBeingDragged) {
                isBeingDragged = false;
                DOM.releaseCapture(getElement());
            }
        }
    }

    protected boolean isCursorResize(Event event) {
        int cursor = event.getClientY();
        int initial = getAbsoluteTop();
        int height = getOffsetHeight();
        return initial + height - 20 < cursor && cursor <= initial + height;
    }

    protected boolean isCursorMove(Event event) {
        int cursor = event.getClientY();
        int initial = movingPanelElement.getAbsoluteTop();
        int height = movingPanelElement.getOffsetHeight();
        return initial <= cursor && cursor <= initial + height;
    }
}
