Inserting Images into Textblocks

Question

The installed help with Blend 3 suggests that Images can be inserted into the text flow of a Textblock in Silverlight 3. How do I do it, or is it a WPF only feature?

Answer 1

You cannot insert Images into TextBlocks because the TextBlock uses the Text property to render its content. In Silverlight 4 (Beta), you can add Images to the RichTextArea block.

Answer 2

Hi Annwvyn,

As FuryDiamond said, you cannot insert images into a TextBlock, but you can put your TextBlocks around the Image, please check this article:

Answer 3

Hi,

    Yes you cannot have images as the child of texblock. Texblock only has - Text as the property.

However you can have the wrap panel, it come along with silverlight toolkit. If you seein Expression Blend, under user guide. It will show wrap- panel for WPF only. Som don't get confused.
