Adding image to RichTextBox programatically does not show in Xaml property
- by rotary_engine
Trying to add an image to a RichTextBox progamatically from a Stream. The image displays in the text box, however when reading the Xaml property there is no markup for the image.
private void richTextBox3_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
if (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.FileDrop))
{
FileInfo[] files = (FileInfo[])e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop);
using (Stream s = files[0].OpenRead())
{
InlineUIContainer container = new InlineUIContainer();
BitmapImage bmp = new BitmapImage();
bmp.SetSource(s);
Image img = new Image();
img.SetValue(Image.SourceProperty, bmp);
container.Child = img;
richTextBox3.Selection.Insert(container);
}
}
}
private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// this doesn't have the markup from the inserted image
System.Windows.MessageBox.Show(richTextBox3.Xaml);
}
What is the correct way to insert an image into the RichTextBox at runtime so that it can be persisted to a data store? In the Xaml property.
