Insert image as character...

[Unregistered]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to insert a image into my TXControl using VB.
I would to open a dialog box that permit user to choose a image file located in the local disk, and put the selected image into the TXControl at the current cursor postition (like in the Demo program included in the TXControl directory: see TXWords.exe, menu Insert \ Image as character...)
Question:
- How do that in VB?
- I thing I sould use the ObjectInsertAsChar method. Is there a method to open the dialog box with image filter included with TXControl?
- If not, how open this dialog box and put a file filter???

Thanks you,
HES

Here is a code snippet taken from the Text Control manual. You can find it at the bottom of the ImageFilters property:

dlgFile.DialogTitle = "Insert Image"
dlgFile.Filename = ""
dlgFile.Filter = TXTextControl1.ImageFilters
dlgFile.FilterIndex = 1
dlgFile.Flags = cdlOFNPathMustExist Or cdlOFNFileMustExist Or cdlOFNHideReadOnly
dlgFile.CancelError = True
dlgFile.ShowOpen

TXTextControl1.ObjectInsertAsChar 0, dlgFile.Filename, 1, 100, 100, 0, 0

The ImageFilters property returns a VB dialog compatible string. You can assign it directly to the Filter property of the dialog as shown above. Please refer to the documentation of this property as well.
