Is it possible to insert images to CTkTextbox?

[Gasiro]

Trying to figure it out but don't know how to do it.
Got this: "AttributeError: embedding images is forbidden, because would be incompatible with scaling"

Access internal text box of CTkTextbox. Reason of so is mentioned in the answer of one of the earlier discussion.

Sample code:

from tkinter import *
from customtkinter import CTkTextbox
from PIL.Image import open as open_
from PIL.ImageTk import PhotoImage



if __name__ == "__main__":
	app = Tk()
	
	tb = CTkTextbox(app)
	tb.pack(padx=50, pady=50)
	
	tb.insert("1.0", "Some Text")
	
	tk_img = PhotoImage(open_("theImage.png"))
	
	tb._textbox.image_create("1.1", image=tk_img)


	app.mainloop()

It will be helpful.
Regards.

it is so weird that I did inserted something here but the image is not showing.

Try to set your insert_img global.

global insert_img

it works very well. Thank you

The reason of so is: to display an image in Tkinter, the image must remain in memory. The Python garbage collector may delete the image to free up memory. Therefore, it is necessary to explicitly instruct Python to retain the image. Typically, local variables are collected as garbage once their scope is exited. One way to prevent this is by using global variables to store the image.

You are welcome. Continue your great Tkinter journey😊
