Image preview flag in ExplorerListGadget() ?

va!n · Post by **va!n** » Thu Mar 02, 2006 6:23 am

Afaik since Win2k its possible to display the content of a directory with big icons, small icons, list and so on... there is one nice feature, to display images as a preview (i think its called thumbnail!?)

Afaik linus supporting this features before windows had it and so it would be a nice feature for all (?) platforms!

Is there any way (maybe with any sendmessage stuff) to change this for the actual ExplorerListGadget? Thanks in adavnce!

You cannot use the it one the normal explorer gadget, I think, as that is a SysListView32. I think you must use some of the Interfaces from my link to create your own explorer gadget, which would be a SHELLDLL_DefView with a SysListView32 inside it. But I've got no clue on how.
