Explorer preview

[Bernhard]

Hi,

in Windows Explorer it is possible to display a small preview e.g. of
images, a Word document or an HTML page. How can this preview be added to a
..Net WindowsForm?

Thanks :-)

I think you are talking about thumbnails. If so, you can do it like this:

Dim image = New Bitmap("My Image With Extension")
Dim pThumbnail As Image = image.GetThumbnailImage(100, 100, Nothing,
New IntPtr)
e.Graphics.DrawImage( pThumbnail, 10, 10, pThumbnail.Width,
pThumbnail.Height)

The above will create a thumbnail 100 * 100.

I hope this helps.

This is already a good help. Forgot to search for 'thumbnail'...

For my application I also would like to have a thumbnail image from an HTML
document. Is there also a possibility?

(If anyone is interested, I have found an article to do this for PDF
document:
