SWT - Can i custom draw the background of a Text control?

... I want to draw some info icon in the background of a text control.

I know about the 开发者_如何学Cpaint event, but believe, if I do this, the entered text lies behind my custom drawn icon, not above.

You have to write the text again. Just calculate its X and Y and use gc.drawText to write it over the original text.
