[platform-swt-dev] Re: How to add a icon to a Shell title bar

["Hasith Yaggahavita" <hasithy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chatura,

 

U can create an image in the following way

ImageDescriptor imageDescriptor = ImageDescriptor.createFromURL("file:///E:/development/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.help.ui_2.1.1/icons/back.gif");

      Image image = imageDescriptor.createImage();

Then set it to the shell as follows

shell.setImage(image);

 

A complete test class of stand alone application is shown below.

Hope this will help u.
