File Preview

[joeyboy]

hi,

I was wondering if it possible to create a file preview window in a picture box by passing in the file name
maybe displaying a default image where no preview is possible. ??

The list of file are displayed in a datagridview and i would pass the file path to the solution.

not even sure this is possible with standard components and vb code ??

any ideas would be welcome

thanks,

Joey

This code is in C++, I thin. You may have to convert it. Anyway its a good read. Windows Vista and Office: Writing Your Own Preview Handlers
