Is dragging and dropping an image into the RichTextBox supported?

[Martin]

Is dragging and dropping an image into the RichTextBox supported? It doesn't work out-of-the-box and I've always tried the TelerikEditorDemo_WPF example without luck. Scenario: Dragging an image from the desktop and dropping it into the RichTextBox.

Hello Martin,

Thank you for contacting us. 

Image drag-and-drop is not supported out-of-the-box in RichTextBox but you could easily implement it using the Drop event handler. Here is an example implementation: 

private void radRichTextBox_Drop(object sender, DragEventArgs e)
{
    string[] droppedFiles = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.FileDrop) as string[];

    foreach (string droppedFile in droppedFiles)
    {
        using (Stream imageStream = File.OpenRead(droppedFile))
        {
            this.radRichTextBox.InsertImage(imageStream, Path.GetExtension(droppedFile));
        }

    }
}

I hope this helps.

Regards,
