How can I insert an Image in RichTextBox using C#?

Kate Smith 11008 28-Sep-2013

I'm trying to insert an image in a richtextbox control using C#, but so far I'm only failing.

This is the code that I am using:

DataFormats.Format _dataFormat = DataFormats.GetFormat(DataFormats.Bitmap);

Clipboard.SetImage(Image.FromFile(Application.StartupPath + @"\Images\" + i + ".bmp"));



chat.Paste(_dataFormat);


The code is not printing any picture but any gives an error sound when executed. I have tried the same code with .bmp images, .jpg images and .png images but keep hitting a dead end.

Can anybody help me with this? Please???

Thanks!

You can paste below code into your code and call it: place a picture into your project to embedded resource,and call this method passing the richtextbox.

    private void createImage(Control item)

    {   

        Hashtable image = new Hashtable(1);

        image.Add(item,yourproject.Properties.Resources.yourpicturename);

        Clipboard.SetImage((Image)image[item]);

        ((RichTextBox)item).Paste();

    }
