Re: [platform-swt-dev] Including Images in SWT Application

[Carolyn MacLeod <Carolyn_MacLeod@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Images are in the org.eclipse.swt.graphics
package, not the widgets package. The class(es) you are looking for are
Image, and maybe ImageData, and maybe ImageLoader.

Most widgets can display images; typically
you set an image into a control or item using setImage and passing in an
Image that you have either read from a file, or created and drawn on.

I am not sure just how your application
will be using images, but here's an SWT snippet that shows one use: reading
an image from a file and then drawing it on a Canvas, and scrolling it
smoothly.

There are a bunch of other image-related
snippets on the SWT developer's page that use images somehow, for example,
displaying an animated GIF, or creating a Label widget and setting an image
into it using setImage. Here is the main link for all of the SWT snippeets.
Do a text search for 'image' and you will see the image examples.

Have fun!

Subject	[platform-swt-dev] Including Images in SWT Application

Hi
 
I just need to include an image in my SWT application
screens. I tried
using org.eclipse.swt.widgets.ImageList. But its saying this imported type
is not visible. What can be the issue here?
 
Thanks and Regards
Cijo
