How can I display the thumbnail of a video file in a Picturebox?

[IliaPreston]

......

And also see the SetPreviewPictureWithHBITMAP function that's setting it in my code?

picturebox.Cls
hBitmapToPictureBox picturebox, hBmp
picturebox.Refresh

(Don't forget the DeleteObject call when you're done with the hbitmap as well.)

......

I am using the code that you provided in post #16.
Thanks for your help.

Let me see if I have understood this right or not.
Here is how I use DeleteObject:

Private Declare Function DeleteObject Lib "gdi32" (ByVal hObject As Long) As Long

Public Sub SetPreviewPictureWithHBITMAP(picturebox As Object, hBmp As Long, Optional bDestroy As Boolean = False)
picturebox.Cls
hBitmapToPictureBox picturebox, hBmp
picturebox.Refresh
If bDestroy Then
    DeleteObject hBmp
End If
End Sub

      Thumbnail_P_B.Cls
      hBitmap = GetFileThumbnail(Video_File_Path, 0, Thumbnail_P_B.ScaleWidth, Thumbnail_P_B.ScaleHeight)
      Call hBitmapToPictureBox(Thumbnail_P_B, hBitmap)
      Thumbnail_P_B.Refresh
      DeleteObject hBitmap

Is that all you mean?
Or should I call it elsewhere as well?


Also, somebody suggested that I can cache the thumbnails, and re-use them, and that at the end when I no longer need to re-use them, I need to delete those cached thumbnails.
I don't know how to do that.

A. How can I cache thumbnails for later re-use?
B. How do I re-use cached thumbnails?
C. How do I delete cached thumbnails in the end?

Please advise.
Thanks.
