[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: Adding Both Image and Text to Lables

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Why not just have two labels? One with the text, one with the image. If
you use a FormLayout, you can pretty precisely control how they connect
with each other.

Alternatively, you can just draw the contents yourself. Here's a snippet
that adds a label to a Composite with a RowLayout. The RowData specifies
that the label should be a minimum of 100 pixels wide. You may have to
explicitly control the size with other layouts as well.

Label label = new Label(getButtonArea(), SWT.NONE);
label.setLayoutData(new RowData(100, SWT.DEFAULT));
label.addPaintListener(new PaintListener() {
	public void paintControl(PaintEvent e) {
		e.gc.drawRectangle(5, 5, e.width-10, e.height-10);
	}			
});

This example just displays a rectangle. There are other methods on GC
that draw text and images. It'll require a little math...

HTH,

Wayne
