Steve,

Ah... so it is possible.... it looks like the resulting text (from the window pictured in your post) is something like this:

<img style="width:##px; height:##px" data="encoded string of the image" />

Since I am looking to set this tooltip programmatically, all I have left to do is to figure out how to encode the image as a string.

Thanks Steve for finding that!

There's a method on the FormattedLinkLabel and/or FormattedTextEditor control for this.

this.ultraFormattedTextEditor1.EditInfo.EncodeImage(img);

I can't find this on the FormattedLinkLabel, there is no EditInfo property (presumably because it isn't editable...)

FormattedTextEditInfo.EncodeImage is public but not static, however the FormattedTextEditInfo ctor is internal so I can't instantiate it.

This fn just calls FormattedLinkLabel.Parser.EncodeImage but both Parser and EncodeImage are internal (but static, so why isn't FormattedTextEditInfo.EncodeImage static... this would solve the problem)

In turn this just calls AppStyling.StyleUtilities.ValueToXmlString which is static internal.

So I can see no alternative to having to Instantiate a FormattedTextEditor to encode an image for use in a FormattedLinkLabel... doh

Also it doesn't help that the data attribute of img is not described in the help in any detail, neither is an example given in the help, nor are images demonstrated in the FormattedLinkLabel Sample application.

cheers

Hello,

You can access the static method for EncodeImage for  FromattedLinkLabel as below
