Primefaces roweditor in same column with other buttons

Question

I have datatable in which I use roweditor. Everything works fine but I need to add few more buttons in column in which I have pencil button for editing. That "other" button is always below pencil. I've tried <p:panelgrid columns="3"... but when I did that row edithing wasn't possible. I suppose that the problem is with the other two buttons that come with row editing, (ui-icon-check and ui-icon-close). Can anyone give me an idea? Here is my datatable:

        <p:dataTable id="sifarnikTable" rowIndexVar="rowIndex" 
            value="#{attrsBean.listOfDataBeans}" editable="true" 
            selectionMode="multiple" selection="#{attrsBean.selektovani}"
            widgetVar="datatableWidget" var="row" rowKey="#{row.primaryKey}"
            paginator="true" paginatorPosition="bottom" 
            paginatorTemplate="{CurrentPageReport} {FirstPageLink} {PreviousPageLink} {PageLinks} {NextPageLink} {LastPageLink}"
            currentPageReportTemplate="{startRecord} - {endRecord} / {totalRecords}"
            emptyMessage="#{messages['datatable.emptymessage']}" rows="15"
            sortMode="multiple" paginatorAlwaysVisible="false" 
            filteredValue="#{attrsBean.filteredDatatableList}">
            <f:facet name="header">
                #{resources['db_parametri.title']}
            </f:facet>

            <p:ajax event="rowSelect" />
            <p:ajax event="rowUnselect" />

            <p:ajax event="rowEdit" listener="#{attrsBean.onEdit}"
                update=":aswdatatable:form:messages, :aswdatatable:form:sifarnikTable, :aswdatatable:form:noviBtn" />

            <p:ajax event="rowEditCancel" listener="#{attrsBean.onCancel}"
                update=":aswdatatable:form:messages" />

            <p:columns id="columns" var="column" value="#{attrsBean.columns}" 
                style="#{column.css}" width="#{column.width}"
                sortBy="#{row[column.property]}"
                filterStyle="#{attrsBean.columnCSS}"
                filterBy="#{attrsBean.showFilter==false ? null : row[column.property]}">
                <f:facet name="header">
                    <h:outputText value="#{column.header}" />
                </f:facet>
                <p:cellEditor>
                    <f:facet name="output">
                        <h:outputText value="#{row[column.property]}" />
                    </f:facet>
                    <f:facet name="input">
                        <p:inputText value="#{row[column.property]}" style="width:96%"></p:inputText>
                    </f:facet>
                </p:cellEditor>

            </p:columns>
            <p:column style="width:6px" exportable="false" >                
                <p:rowEditor />
                <div
                    onclick="datatableWidget.unselectAllRows();datatableWidget.selectRow(#{rowIndex}, false);">
                    <h:panelGroup layout="block">
                        <p:cellEditor>
                            <f:facet name="output">

                                <p:commandLink id="deleteBtn"
                                    onclick="datatableWidget.unselectAllRows();datatableWidget.selectRow(#{rowIndex}, false);brisanjeWidget.show()"
                                    process="@this"
                                    update=":aswdatatable:form:brisanjeDisplay, :aswdatatable:form:sifarnikTable"
                                    styleClass="ui-icon ui-icon-trash">

                                    <f:setPropertyActionListener
                                        target="#{attrsBean.modelForDelete}" value="#{row}" />
                                </p:commandLink>
                            </f:facet>
                            <f:facet name="input">
                                <h:outputText value="" />

                            </f:facet>
                        </p:cellEditor>
                    </h:panelGroup>
                </div>
            </p:column>


        </p:dataTable>

Set the style="width: 100%" attribute of the <p:column/>. With that, the column will resize to cater for any additional components. The span of the column can then only be limited by the size of any enclosing container. For example

 <h:panelGrid id="theGrid" style="width:200px">
    <p:dataTable var="car" value="#{tableBean.carsSmall}" id="carList" editable="true">  
        <p:column id="controlColumn" style="width:100%">  
            <p:rowEditor />
            <p:commandButton value="Testing"/>
        </p:column> 
    </p:dataTable>
</h:panelGrid>

In the snippet above, span of controlColumn is constrained by the width of theGrid
