How can I show a slide list of dwgs in a folder?

Anonymous — Wed, 21 Sep 2005 14:30:34 GMT

Is there some sample code someone could pass along to show me how to attach
the preview image to an image control?

Will I need to make a slide for each file in the folder? That would suck if
I had to do that.

Is there a good way to show a slide view of AutoCAD files in a folder? I
just assumed the preview image would need to be attached to an image
control.

Todd,

The "DwgThumbnail.ocx" control is an easy way to do it. All you need to do
is give the control the file name.

You can also do it WITHOUT an OCX.
Have a look at the attached proggy.

How do I get the DwgThumbnail to show up in my "Additional Controls" box? I
found the ocx file on my hard drive, and added it to the "References". The
control still does not show up in the list of "Additional Controls".

I already have this code, but I don't know how to attach the preview to an
image (something selectable) so people can click on it to open the file.

On my system it is listed as "AutoCAD DwgThumbnail Control" in the
"Additional controls" dialog. Perhaps you are looking among the "Ds"? If
you've referenced it it should be there.

Silly me, I didn't look for "AutoCAD". Duh. Hey, could you snip a line of
code that shows this in action?

Thanks, I'm sure I'll have more questions later.
