Text and Image on SWT Button

Question

Is there a way to have a SWT buuton with both image and text in a view? I have tried embedding Swings in SWT and the view looks exactly as I want, but when there is an operation going on, this view doesnot load till it gets over. This makes my perspective look unstable. Please help.

What OS are you using? On Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7, GTK+ and OSX you can just set the text and the image. E.g.

public class ButtonView extends ViewPart
{
    private Button  m_button;

    public void createPartControl(Composite parent)
    {
        m_button = new Button(parent, SWT.NONE);
        m_button.setText("My Button"); 
        m_button.setImage(JFaceResources.getImage(Dialog.DLG_IMG_MESSAGE_ERROR));
    }

    public void setFocus()
    {
        m_button.setFocus();
    }
}
