Hello all,

I have a text box on a ActiveX form. I have an image on my clipboard. The image can be bitmap, jgp, gif, etc.

Is it possible to past that image into the text box? What would I need to code for this to work?

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
Hi,

A TEXTbox is for the purpose of the user to enter text.

Why do you want a graphic in a textbox contrpl?
 
Thank you SkipVought for replying.

I understand what you are saying. Maybe I need a control the holds text and graphics.

I have created a feedback function, via a form and email. I want the users to have the ability to past a snapshot into the email's text box an click send. I don't want them to have to go thru the trouble of saving the snapshot to a file and then attaching that to the email.

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Hello All,

I had a Hommer moment over the weekend. It occur to me that instead of recreating the email wheel, to get images, rich text, attachments, etc. sent in the feedback process I should simply use what's there. So I have VBA some code that calls/opens the email software, populates the subject area, send to, bring the new email to the fount. Now the user can fill in the body and click send and their done.

Issue resolve
