Thubnailer_enhanced

Questions:


  1. I am testing the demo VB sample for Enhanced Thumbnailer but each time I right click on it in the IDE to access its property pages, VB crashes with no error messages.

  2. Is the Enhanced Thumbnailer compatible with the lite version (up to 3.1) of the control?

  3. Will Enhanced Thumbnailer work on Windows XP?

  4. Will Enhanced Thumbnailer ActiveX control run in MSAccess environment?

  5. Could support for multi-paged TIFF images be added to Thumbnailer?

  6. When I call the AddItem method to add a thumbnail, although the ItemAdd event is raised and the function returns "TRUE", the thumbnail does not appear on screen. What could I been making wrong?

    This was a bug that has been fixed. Please download the new build.

  2. Is the Enhanced Thumbnailer compatible with the lite version (up to 3.1) of the control?

    No. In order to use the new enhanced version (4.0 or newer), you have to re-write code for the control as it exposes many new properties and functions and many old ones have been altered.

  3. Will Enhanced Thumbnailer work on Windows XP?

    Yes. The Enhanced Thumbnailer ActiveX control, has been designed to work with all versions of Windows.

    It supports:
    Windows 95/98/98SE/ME/NT/2000/XP

  4. Will Enhanced Thumbnailer ActiveX control run in MSAccess environment?

    Enhanced Thumbnailer ActiveX control has been thoroughly tested in MSAccess (97 or newer) environment and is absolutely compatible.

  5. Could support for multi-paged TIFF images be added to Thumbnailer?

    It is not in our plans to support more file types in the future. You should use ThumbPlus instead.

  6. When I call the AddItem method to add a thumbnail, although the ItemAdd event is raised and the function returns "TRUE", the thumbnail does not appear on screen. What could I been making wrong?

    Just call the control's DrawItems method when you wish the manually added items to be displayed.

    This is by design, in order to allow the user to control if the added items will be displayed as soon as they are added, by calling the DrawItem method immediately after the AddItem method returns, or if they will be displayed once after all items have been successfully added.

    If you try to resize Thumbnailer after an item is added with the AddItem method, you will see that this will cause it to be displayed although you never called the DrawItems method, as it is automatically called by the control when it is resized
