RichTextBox replace string with emoticon / image

Viewed 989

Within a RichtTextBox I want to automatically replace emoticon strings (e.g. :D) with an emoticon image. I got it working so far, except that when I write the emoticon string between existing words / strings, the image gets inserted at the end of the line.

For example: hello (inserting :D here) this is a message
results in: hello this is a message ☺ << image

Another (tiny) problem is, that the caret position is set before the image after inserting.

This is what I already got:

public class Emoticon
{
    public Emoticon(string key, Bitmap bitmap)
    {
        Key = key;
        Bitmap = bitmap;
        BitmapImage = bitmap.ToBitmapImage();
    }

    public string Key { get; }
    public Bitmap Bitmap { get; }
    public BitmapImage BitmapImage { get; }
}

public class EmoticonRichTextBox : RichTextBox
{
    private readonly List<Emoticon> _emoticons;

    public EmoticonRichTextBox()
    {
        _emoticons = new List<Emoticon>
        {
            new Emoticon(":D", Properties.Resources.grinning_face)
        };
    }

    protected override void OnTextChanged(TextChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnTextChanged(e);
        Dispatcher.InvokeAsync(Look);
    }

    private void Look()
    {
        const string keyword = ":D";

        var text = new TextRange(Document.ContentStart, Document.ContentEnd);
        var current = text.Start.GetInsertionPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);

        while (current != null)
        {
            var textInRun = current.GetTextInRun(LogicalDirection.Forward);
            if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(textInRun))
            {
                var index = textInRun.IndexOf(keyword, StringComparison.Ordinal);
                if (index != -1)
                {
                    var selectionStart = current.GetPositionAtOffset(index, LogicalDirection.Forward);
                    if (selectionStart == null)
                        continue;

                    var selectionEnd = selectionStart.GetPositionAtOffset(keyword.Length, LogicalDirection.Forward);
                    var selection = new TextRange(selectionStart, selectionEnd) { Text = string.Empty };

                    var emoticon = _emoticons.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Key.Equals(keyword));
                    if (emoticon == null)
                        continue;

                    var image = new System.Windows.Controls.Image
                    {
                        Source = emoticon.BitmapImage,
                        Height = 18,
                        Width = 18,
                        Margin = new Thickness(0, 3, 0, 0)
                    };

                    // inserts at the end of the line
                    selection.Start?.Paragraph?.Inlines.Add(image);

                    // doesn't work
                    CaretPosition = CaretPosition.GetPositionAtOffset(1, LogicalDirection.Forward);
                }
            }

            current = current.GetNextContextPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward);
        }
    }
}

public static class BitmapExtensions
{
    public static BitmapImage ToBitmapImage(this Bitmap bitmap)
    {
        using (var stream = new MemoryStream())
        {
            bitmap.Save(stream, ImageFormat.Png);
            stream.Position = 0;

            var image = new BitmapImage();
            image.BeginInit();
            image.CacheOption = BitmapCacheOption.OnLoad;
            image.DecodePixelHeight = 18;
            image.DecodePixelWidth = 18;
            image.StreamSource = stream;
            image.EndInit();
            image.Freeze();

            return image;
        }
    }
}
