i am making a messenger application something like windows live messenger. when a user want to send some data or attachments to the other end user, he can upload a picture for example, in my application the other end receives the picture by a new form popping out on the screen saying "you have received an attachment/picture" open/close ... etc. my question is, is it possible to insert the picture box the the textbox that shows chat texts? it is like putting it on a new line between the other texts, that are showing in the logs.

  • I would rather create a separate custom control, but yeah, you could achieve your intended goal using simple WinForm controls. Check [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/542850/how-can-i-insert-an-image-into-a-richtextbox) answer. – KappaG3 Jul 27 '13 at 17:31

You can't add images to TextBox control, You have to use RichTextBox but still problem persists. You have to use Clipboard in order to Add Image to RichTextBox. 

Clipboard.SetImage(image);
richTextBox.SelectionStart = index;//where you want image
richTextBox.Paste();

Above code will help you to add Image to RichTextBox but then there's no easy way to manipulate over it.

Alternatively you can take a look at this article, this looks promising and I've used it a bit ago.

Hope this helps.

You need to use RichTextBox for this purpose. That will serve your purpose really well. Textbox is a simple control used for text only and doesn't has such features.
