    So if you are being passed a link to the image, can you not parse the string being copied for <img scr= tags

    Once you have the link, put in the image via code.

    Hi,

    Try this,

    Before you run your program hit the PrintScreen button on your keyboard.

    Now run the program and left-click in the richTextBox.

    PASTE or Ctrl+V and you should get the window image within the richTextBox.

    This works for me without altering any of the richTextBox properties.

    for me also the same things happen i cannot paste the content of the browser

  • Andriy G.

    I think the IE control lets you modify the contents... And you wouldn't have to make your own layout engine.

    Otherwise, get busy making your own little 'mini browser' and layout engine.

    Assume RT1 is my richtext box.

    You'd have to download the file from the link to a temp dir.

    From there load the image into a control, and add the control to the rtf

    Dim img As New PictureBox

    img.BackgroundImage = Image.FromFile("c:\pic2.bmp") 'replace with your downloaded file.

    RT1.Controls.Add(img)

    RT1.Controls(0).Location = New Point(20, 20)

    It work for me right out of the box. I created a new Project and inserted the RichText control in it and pasted text and images. Re-insert the control without fiddling around with the properties and it should work. Let me know how it goes.
