We use linked images, but I'm having a bit of trouble reloading the image when the WPRichText is reloaded.
I was thinking that the OnTextObjectPaint was the replacement for OnTextObjectLoadStreamEvent, and sure enough it seems to be it, however, the image doesn't seem to honor the widthTW and heightTW that it was originally saved as.
So perhaps TextObjectPaint is not the equivalent method to restore the link image.
Note: I have another post in the WP5 support forum indicating a problem saving text having linked images to a database... seems the text has some binary values in it (even though it is only a link) that might be causing a problem with the .AsString assignment to the memo data, cutting off part of the link and anything that came after the link. So this test above is from reloading the WPRichText from a file which has the link and everything after it fully intact.
Thanks,
Eric
