I am writing a program in java swt that plays tic tac toe, and I cannot find a way to display an image with an x or o over the button, without using the button.setImage(image) method. When I do that, the image becomes gray and I don’t want that. Is there any way to make it so when I click the button, the button becomes disabled and the image displays over it, or can I at least make the button not grayed out when it is disabled?

Also it should be noted I’m using SWT for my GUI.

Here is the portion of the code I’m having trouble with if it is any help:

public static void drawX(Button b, Shell s, Image x){   //draws an X image
        int topLeft_X=b.getLocation().x;
        int topLeft_Y=b.getLocation().y;
        GC gc = new GC(b);
        gc.drawImage(x,  topLeft_X, topLeft_Y);
    }


public static void drawO(Button b, Shell s, Image o){   //draws an O image
    int topLeft_X=b.getLocation().x;
    int topLeft_Y=b.getLocation().y;
    GC gc = new GC(b);
    gc.drawImage(o,  topLeft_X, topLeft_Y);
}

static double turnCount = 1;        

public static void button(final Button b, final Shell s,  final int i, final int j, final Image g, final Image h){      //the method that would make the image appear
    b.addSelectionListener(new SelectionListener() {

        public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
            b.setEnabled(false);
            turnCount++;
            if(p1()){
                a[i][j]++;
                drawX(b, s, g);
                b.setVisible(false);
            }
            else{
                a[i][j]--;
                drawX(b, s, h);
                b.dispose();
            }
        }

        public void widgetDefaultSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
        }
    });
}
