Explorer thumbnails..

[M109uk]

Hi all,

Does anyone know how to write a thumbnail plugin for Explorer, (When you look in a folder with Windows with IE5+, you can see previews of BMP, JPEG, etc) i want to create a preview of my own files, but i cant find anything about it on the net

Any ideas?

Thanx

The explorer add ins are called Shell Extensions and you are looking for the Thumbnail Image Handler extension.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tpshellshock/

Encapsulates a number of the Shell Extensions - I could not find the Thumbnail handler but it could be there somewhere.

you need to look at the IExtractImage interface from the MSDN
