Align the content in SimplePanel in GWT

Question

Anyone know how to put something in the center of SimplePanel or at least to arrange it somehow.

with HorizontalPanel adn VerticalPanel i could use setHorizontalAlignment() /setVerticalAlignment() but i am not able to find anything useful for SimplePanel.

I know that SimplePanel can have only one widget, but im required to use it.

Any advice?

Thanks

If you use UIBinder this should work

 <ui:style>
  .container {
     width:100%;
 }
 .content {
     width:200px;
     margin: 0 auto;
 }
</ui:style>
<g:SimplePanel addStyleNames="{style.container}">
    <g:HTMLPanel addStyleNames="{style.content}">
     <!-- CONTENT -->
    </g:HTMLPanel>
</g:SimplePanel>

Create Horizontal/Vertical panel. Add widget with required alignment. Add this panel to the SimplePanel.

You can also probably achieve it by tweaking the CSS instead of having an extra panel
