how to display text and image in JFace/SWT combo box. [message #323801]

Hello,

I need to display text and image of the items shown in the JFace/SWT combo box.

I tried using ComboViewer org.eclipse.jface.viewers.ComboViewer) and provided a content and labelprovider for it. The issue is that the LabelProvider's getText() method gets invoked and is displaying the correct text but the method getImage() is not getting invoked at all.

And thus the UI is just displaying the text of the items and not the image.

Is this some bug in ComboViewer implementation?
Also is there any alternative to display image and text of items in combobox or listviewer?

Thanks

No SWT-Combo don't support images.

Yes. See

although you'll need to write your own viewer code.
