Hi People:

How do you come to "&First(MyPhoto).PIC&"?
Hi @felipito1 :
Thanks to @timl and @timl for their answers.
I did some tests and the htmltext control does not display the background image.
Because there are almost no other options, I suggest you use @timl 's solution.
I've made a test for your reference:
1\Add a html text control(HtmlText1):
Text:
All responses (
Answers (
"<html>
<body background="&First(MyPhoto).PIC&"> /*First(MyPhoto).PIC is my picture*/
<p>TestTest</p>
<p>TestTest</p>
</body>
</html>
"
Although this code is correct, the background image does not appear
2\Add a image control:
Image:
First(MyPhoto).PIC
Width:
HtmlText1.Width
Height:
HtmlText1.Height
X:
HtmlText1.X
Y:
HtmlText1.Y
3\Add a flow(sendemail)
4\Add a button:
OnSelect:
sendemail.Run(HtmlText1.HtmlText)
In addition,If you want the htmltext control to support the background image function, you can submit your ideas to this forum:

Hi @felipito1
Unfortunately, the available options are limited.
A possible workaround is to apply @mdevaney's workaround on your screen by placing an image control behind the HTML text control and setting the same property for: X, Y, Height, Width.
Because the image will not appear when you use the HTML content in an email, you could wrap the HTML content in an outer DIV when you send the email. You would apply the CSS background-image property to this parent DIV to apply your background image.

I retract my previous statement. What I meant to say is images are not meant to be displaying using an HTML text control. But that's beside the point.
For what you are wanting to do it would require some HTML/CSS code. I've looked around and can't seem to find the answer either, sorry...

sorry but it is possible, have a look on this post where I learnt:
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Picture-in-HTML-Text/td-p/153297
What I need is use an image from a url as background image on this HTML text control.
Apreciatte your help comunity!
@felipito1
You can't place and image inside an HTML text control. That is not it's purpose. You will need to find another way.

There's no need to place a background image inside the HTML text.
Simply place an Image control behind the HTML text control and make it have the same property for: X, Y, Height, Width.
