Replacing substrings with images in GUI (parser)

Thread view:

Hello,

I want to write a smiley parser which does no more than find smaller
substrings in another and replaces those with some image displayed in
some text component.

Which class/es can you recommend?

Do you perform the image replacement on Document level or on the text
component level?

Suggestions welcome!

Karsten

There are a couple of ways you could go about this. Create a font that
has those characters in it or create a component that will display text
and graphics. The JTextPane might work for what you want to do. I
haven't played with that very much.

Hi,
I'm interested in reading more replies to your question as I'll soon
be working on a similar problem. Right now I'm looking at:
javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback.
