Thumbnailpreview

[Anonymous]

I am creating a visual basic 6.0 application and I am trying to incorporate a thumbnail viewer. AutoCAD includes thumbnail images in their drawings. How do I access those images for viewing with visual basic.

Don't waste your time with the DVB project that was posted
by Frank.

It only works with monochrome bitmaps.

Correction - It only works with 256 color bitmaps, and
does not work with monochrome bitmaps.

What precisely do you mean by a thumbnail
viewer.

You mention you use VB6, so are you looking for a viewer
which can be added to your VB6 app using an ocx?

If so, there are a number about which you can
buy.

Otherwise AutoCAD have a free and cheerful one called
dwgthumbnail.ocx.

By the way people, why the aggro?

on the other hand

Attitudes are contagious. Is yours worth catching?  -
really does piss me off.

I am essentially looking to add a viewer to my current VB application. I would like the ability to explore a directory of .dwg files and preview them before opening them. This application would work outside of AutoCAD. I am not real interested in obtaining or buying a product I would rather create my own. What I do need is some input as to how to link the dwgthumbnail.ocx file to my VB application assuming that the dwgthumbnail.ocx is what I need.

What input?

1) Register It
2) Reference It
3) Draw It on the form
4) Set the DwgThumbname.Dwgname property

I need reference the saved thumbnail to be viewed in a picturebox. I believe thats one way of doing it but any suggestions would be appriciated.
