Question

Can you tell me how to do like below in JAVA SWING.

Is the image really _in_ the text field, or is a a label _next to_ the text field? — tobias_k, Sep 11 '13 at 09:53

JTextField textField = new JTextField() {  
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {  
                super.paintComponent(g);  
                int y = (getHeight() - image.getHeight())/2;  
                g.drawImage(image, x0, y, this);  
            }  
        };

Build a custom component.

Take a look at http://gmigdos.wordpress.com/2010/03/30/java-a-custom-jtextfield-for-searching/

While link only answers are allowed it is good idea to provide main content to answer in case link will change. – Pshemo Sep 11 '13 at 09:59
