Hello Valter,

I do not use vb6 anymore for years, in its time I used successfully sepreview.ocx inserted in a form of vb6. with st8 should still be available.


the library you indicated instead should return a bitmap directly; I never tried the code should be something like that (to be converted to vb6):

private sub showpreviewimage(byval pictureboxpreview as picturebox, byval fullpath as string)

    dim thumbnailextractor as new sethumbnaillib.sethumbnailextractor
    dim hbitmap as intptr

    thumbnailextractor.getthumbnail(fullpath, hbitmap)

    if (hbitmap <> intptr.zero) then

        pictureboxpreview.sizemode = pictureboxsizemode.zoom
        pictureboxpreview.waitonload = true
        pictureboxpreview.image = image.fromhbitmap(hbitmap)

    end if

end sub

Let me know if you did

hello francesco, thank you very much for the prompt answer, the code is .net but you made me discover sepreview.ocx, it's exactly what I've been looking for for for two days, I'm a self-taught and you see? ...
Thank you again!
