What do you mean by block image?

Do you mean Block thumbnail Icon,
or something else?

Hello Tony
Thanks for the Sample.

Built in MSVC#2003 , Running in AC2006 :
For me, the class seems to recognise only blocks built and retained in the
document, not inserted blocks.

Regards
Kerry Brown

It's for displaying icons for blocks, not block insertions
(or perhaps I'm not undertstanding what you say below?).

If a block has no icon, you can generate one for it
using the BLOCKICON command.

Using the BLOCKICON command did the trick ... Thanks.

It's very old thread but...
I've tested Tony's example and works ok to me. The problem is that the produced bitmap is fixed size of 32X32 which is very low to use it in a form.
Any other workaround to get a better resolution?
How to avoid the use of BLOCKICON command and make the preview inside .net ?

Thanks

Hello,

When I compile, I get the message, "The name 'BlockThumbnailHelper' does not
exist in the current context" Any suggestions? My operating environment is
Windows Vista, Visual Studio 2008 Professional, and AutoCAD 2009

That code was for older releases where the PreviewIcon
property of the BlockTableRecord was not implemented yet.

In 2009 it is, so you don't need that workaround any longer.
