Is it possible

[Stryx]

To have the thumbnail that the control webvw creates saved as an file.
I have an application that have support for webview and I want to be able to save that thumnail in to a database.

I have looked around a bit, but haven't found anyone that have done this.

Hi Stryx,

Can you tell me what the webview is? Is this a control add in?

Ok, little update.

Webview is an control that you can use in an form to view a thumbnail of an supported file.

The name of the control is webvw 1.0, that is the same control that shows a thumnail when you have webview on in explorer.
So if you wan't to make an own browser with a preview of an file you should use that control.

I think webview uses Ole32 and is some kind of inprocserver, but I don't have a clue how to make use of it.
The application that I am looking at have made their own dll that can make a preview with the use of webvw but they have not a funktion to save the picture.

And I have talked to the support for the application, and the only answer is that this is an windows function, we don't support that.
