Hello,  I don't think it's possible to add the image in TextBox. You can take a look at this sample http://michaelsync.net/2008/04/14/silverlight-2-beta1-rich-text-viewer

I got your comment. Do you think that it's so complex? I think it's not that complex.

Your RichTextBox is fully fonctionalities. Great.

I just want TextBox whit emoticon support. Il dont need full option like your RichTextBox.
What is your way for adding msn emoticones and insert in the text ?

I just want to understand how to.

A textbox is inherently a bit limited in what it can do, mainly so we don't have fully-featured high-graphics textboxes for every input method. Basically, all it can hold is text. The ability to actually put an image - an object of its own, inside, a rich textbox is kind of necessary. I might bet that most existing IM clients use something like that. Hope that helps.

I try to learn RichTextBox editeur.
But they don't work.
I try :
- one TextBox for enter message (SendBox)
- one TextBox for displaying (ChatBox)

Have you sample ?

Thanks
