Image in Rich Edit Object

[crugh]

Hi,

I am trying to insert an image into the Rich Edit Object but it only shows the text (image.gif) with a box.

How can I make the image visable?

Thanks in advance

Make sure in the object properties you have selected RTF 2.0 as i think it needs to be that to support images

I selected RTF 2.0 but the image still doesn't show. I need to load a logo at the top of the page for as part of a receipt and at the bottom a signature stamp.

Any other suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.

Just try cutting and pasting an image to the RTF at run time? I think thats how you do it..? Dont know if that makes sense

search for an old example made by Yves in the old forums. Don't have a link but it sould be there

The trick is to use something like wordpad to generate the rtf code of this image and paste this code in rich edit at runtime

This is an old quote from Yves about how to put images into an rtf "..the RichEdit object stores images internally, they are coded as text. To convert an image so it can be inserted into the RTF object, for example you can create an empty RTF file with Wordpad, create another one with the image, load both with Notepad, and remove the common part from the second file."

You store the resulting code somewhere in your app then add it as rich text into your Rich Edit object.

This looks like the best solution to add an image using this object.

Thanks for all the help.
