Display images in TextBlock (WPF)

wpf chat textblock

I'm working on a simple chat application. Currently the messages are binded to a custom-styled listbox like this (simplified XAML):

<ListBox ItemsSource="{Binding MessageCollection}">
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Text}"/>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

Now I would like to be able to put images (like graphical smileys) into the displayed message text. Is there any way to achieve this using TextBlock (or any other standart component) or do I need to use some special control for this?

Thanks in advance

Just use the InlineUIContainer.

<TextBlock TextWrapping="Wrap">
    <Run>Some text.</Run>
    <InlineUIContainer>
        <Image Source="http://sstatic.net/stackoverflow/img/apple-touch-icon.png" Height="20"></Image>
    </InlineUIContainer>
    <Run>Some more text.</Run>
</TextBlock>
