You cannot cast an ELement to a Widget. You can use GQuery to help you out in this case.

GQuery.$(element).widget() will give you the GWT widget you are looking for on your DOM.

You can use CustomWidget as the return type of your JSNI method. The example at http://code.google./webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsOverlay.html#example-json does this with Customer (which extends JavaScriptObject):

private native Customer getFirstCustomer() /*-{
  return $wnd.jsonData[0];
}-*/;

If your CustomWidget is really a Widget (not a JavaScriptObject), then you're probably looking for somthing quite different: In that case you'd have to write a wrap() method like .google.gwt.user.client.ui.Button.wrap().
