window or web?

Please clarify: my guess is that you want the ability to insert images into the text: i.e., 'in-line.'

1. You want a TextBox in your WinForms app that at run-time the user can type into, and edit text ?

2. You want to insert images into the text in the TextBox, or are you talking about a Background Image only ?

3. If you are inserting images into the text, does this happen at both design-time, and, the user can also insert at run-time ?

My first thought was that you should switch to a RichTextBox, for inserting images in-line into the text, and I see TheAnil has already replied with a solution for that.

thanks, Bill

this may help you insert image into rich text

C#

public void InsertImage(string pic)  
        {
            //string lstrFile = fileDialog.FileName;
            string lstrFile = pic;
            Bitmap myBitmap = new Bitmap(lstrFile);
            // Copy the bitmap to the clipboard.
            Clipboard.SetDataObject(myBitmap);
            // Get the format for the object type.
            DataFormats.Format myFormat = DataFormats.GetFormat (DataFormats.Bitmap);
            // After verifying that the data can be pasted, paste
            if(richTextBox1.CanPaste(myFormat)) 
            {
                richTextBox1.Paste(myFormat);
            }
            else 
            {
                MessageBox.Show("The data format that you attempted site" + 
                    " is not supportedby this control.");
            }
 
        }

Solution 2

Owner-drawing a Windows.Forms TextBox[^] could help (although it uses some native code).

Dear Buddies:

I want to have a fixed background image for my textbox in my windows application program. I want to make the textbox more attractive and I do not want to add in-line image in the text box.
