How to insert Images/emoticons in a Chat Application

[GabrielBB]

I was making a chat, its cool , works great :) , but i want it to show images in the chat window too, appending them . Such as emoticons. I want to know what component i need to use , i saw something about Document Context blabla once, but it was kinda confusing , and i feel like theres gotta be a easier way of doing it . Thank you for reading this . (English is not my main language, Excuse Grammatical faults )

i want it to show images in the chat window

What class are you using to display the window? Does that class have ways of displaying images at user specified locations?
I think the JEditorPane class uses HTML to control what is displayed and could be useful.

Thanks for answer... Sorry for not replying :/ , yeah im using JEditorPane , adding the text like this - jep.setText(jep.getText() + "new string"); - but yeah im gonna try that with HTML :D

[GabrielBB]

chat.setContentType("text/html");
chat.setText("<IMG SRC=\"pic.png>\"");

Have you tried the class I mentioned? I think it will allow displaying images in with text.

This is a technical forum, not SMS chat. Please spell words in full. "You" not "u" and "please" not "pls"
