[RESOLVED] RichTextBox Insert Image while locked??

[Static]

I have this code:

For X = 0 To picSmile.UBound
     If RTB1.Find(picSmile(X).Tag, tLoc) <> -1 Then
          RTB1.SelStart = RTB1.Find(picSmile(X).Tag, tLoc)
          RTB1.SelLength = Len(picSmile(X).Tag)
          Clipboard.Clear
          Clipboard.SetData picSmile(X).Image
          SendMessage RTB1.hWnd, WM_PASTE, 0, 0
     End If
Next

if the RTB is not locked or disabled.. it works fine...
but I dont want the use to be able to copy or anything in the RTB

with Enabled = False.. all the formatting looks right.. but the images wont insert...

How do I get around this?

Thanks!
