[Visual Basic 6] Private Sub mnuImage_Insert_Click() On Error GoTo err_InsertImage CmDialog1.DialogTitle = "Insert Image" CmDialog1.Filter = TXTextControl1.ImageFilters CmDialog1.FileName = "" CmDialog1.Flags = cdlOFNPathMustExist Or cdlOFNOverwritePrompt Or cdlOFNHideReadOnly CmDialog1.CancelError = True CmDialog1.ShowOpen TXTextControl1.ImageInsert CmDialog1.FileName, -1, 1, 0, 0, 100, 100, 3, 100, 100, 100, 100 Exit Sub err_InsertImage: If Err <> cdlCancel Then MsgBox Err.Description End Sub
The image is inserted using the ImageInsert method.
