[news.eclipse.tools.gef] How to create figures that look like text fields

Hi, I?m a total newbie to GEF and am trying to create a simple visual editor for creating an input form. I?m currently working on designing a set of figures that will be part of my editor and I?m trying to figure out how to create figures that mimic the look of some of the standard SWT widgets. For example, a form field figure will have a label and a visual but not functional text input associated with it. How can I create a figure that looks like the SWT text field input, do I have to do that in a custom figure or is there one that I can extend? Another example would be creating a figure that contains a combo box look widget. I've seen this be done in other editors and am wondering how to do it myself!? Thanks.
