Examples

The following code example shows how you can insert an image into a RichTextBox by using the Child property.

'Insert an image into the RichTextBox
Private Sub btnImage_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As RoutedEventArgs)
    Dim container As InlineUIContainer = New InlineUIContainer
    container.Child = MainPage.createImageFromUri(New Uri("/RichNotepad;component/images/Desert.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute), 200, 150)
    rtb.Selection.Insert(container)
    'ReturnFocus()
End Sub

Private Shared Function createImageFromUri(ByVal URI As Uri, ByVal width As Double, ByVal height As Double) As Image
    Dim img As Image = New Image
    img.Stretch = Stretch.Uniform
    img.Width = width
    img.Height = height
    Dim bi As BitmapImage = New BitmapImage(URI)
    img.Source = bi
    img.Tag = bi.UriSource.ToString
    Return img
End Function
//Insert an image into the RichTextBox
private void btnImage_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    InlineUIContainer container = new InlineUIContainer();

    container.Child = MainPage.createImageFromUri(new Uri("/RichNotepad;component/images/Desert.jpg", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute), 200, 150);

    rtb.Selection.Insert(container);
    ReturnFocus();
}

private static Image createImageFromUri(Uri URI, double width, double height)
{
    Image img = new Image();
    img.Stretch = Stretch.Uniform;
    img.Width = width;
    img.Height = height;
    BitmapImage bi = new BitmapImage(URI);
    img.Source = bi;
    img.Tag = bi.UriSource.ToString();
    return img;
}
