Is it possible to insert a picturebox in between the textbox's lines?

i am making a messenger application something like windows live messenger. when a user want to send some data or attachments to the other end user, he can upload a picture for example, in my application the other end receives the picture by a new form popping out on the screen saying "you have received an attachment/picture" open/close ... etc. my question is, is it possible to insert the picture box the the textbox that shows chat texts? it is like putting it on a new line between the other texts, that are showing in the logs.

You can't add images to TextBox control, You have to use RichTextBox but still problem persists. You have to use Clipboard in order to Add Image to RichTextBox. 

Clipboard.SetImage(image);
richTextBox.SelectionStart = index;//where you want image
richTextBox.Paste();

Above code will help you to add Image to RichTextBox but then there's no easy way to manipulate over it.

Alternatively you can take a look at this article, this looks promising and I've used it a bit ago.

Hope this helps.

You need to use RichTextBox for this purpose. That will serve your purpose really well. Textbox is a simple control used for text only and doesn't has such features.
