How to use images in SWT Text field?

I'm creating a chat like application with SWT. My application uses StyledText and Text for taking input and displaying it to user. Is there a way I can insert emoticons (images) into the text field?

Solution

  • There are Unicode characters for Emoticons (starting with Unicode 6.0) so you don't need to use images for this provided you have a font which supports them 😀

    The Unicode characters are in the range U+1F600..U+1F64F, more information on the characters see here
