29 Jun 2011 by OriginalGriff

You cannot put an icon inside a TextBox: the clue is in the name. TextBox.It only holds Text.You can do it if you use a RichTextBox, or if you derive a user control from a TextBox. The former would probably allow the user to delete the icon, the latter would put it under your control.
