Im looking to embed an .exe into my form. An example of what I want to do is the preview area when selecting a screensaver in Windows. It shows a small running preview of the app in the current window. How do I do that in my VB form?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to get this code to re-size(by a percent) the pdf thumbnail it outputs(which needs to be initially scaled down to 15% of the size of the original pdf document size).Currently, the code only adds the two dimensions as pixels, then renders the image, and draws it into a PictureBox.The code uses Ghostscript as you can see. The problem I am having is getting the dimensions of the PDF file. How can this be done? The code will be posted below:
Imports System.IO
Imports System.Drawing.Imaging
Imports GhostscriptSharp

The preview on my program doesn't show how I would like it to, sometimes it's blank or not big enough for the whole screen, and other things.
I have 3 forms, one is of controls, one is a full transparent form that is just the outside edges with a blank middle, and one of is the background. Reason for this is setting background transparency, and the transparency(opacity) of the top bar of the form, so it will be transparent like vista is normally in xp.
I want it to show always the full form live view on the preview and I am not getting it to work with my 3 form as one form type program, but it works as expected with one form only, but I don't want this because I want individually set transparencies.

is there a way to do a similar thing for word documents(or any text)? I just want to have a thumbnail of the first page.
Can anyone provide some details on a way to have a thumbnail image of a random file appear in a panel on a form? I'm working on a project that requires this functionality when a user clicks on a item in a checkedlistbox. This way users can auto-preview a file. All code that I found applies to actual image files, so I'm getting "Parameter is not valid" errors when attempting to create a bitmap thumbnail of a text file. Would a printpreview control work?

View 2 RepliesI am trying to incorporate in my vbdotnet application a form in which I would like to make a thumbnail from an image. So what I have is two picture boxes, one with the source image and the other with the destination image, I would like to crop the image from picture box 1 and display it on picture box 2, but the way I wan to crop it is not giving the coordinates of the selected area box but to simulate a selection area box in which the mouse can move the box and select the area of the picture to be cropped. This selection area box would give me the coordinates i need in order to proceed the cropping. The problem is I don't know how to create this selection area box. It is like doing the cropping on a graphic design software like Macromedia Fireworks, Adobe photoshop, even paint.

View 5 RepliesI've been playing around with Windows 7 taskbar thumbnail previews. I've noticed that some Microsoft applications are able to set thumbnail images which have transparency in background. I've been trying all out and not been able to achieve this.
I've set a picturebox control having PNG with transparency as thumbnail preview, doesnt work. I tried creating a new bitmap and loading from Icon file having transparency and setting it as preview but still doesn't work. It keeps showing the background color of the form window.
This is what Microsoft apps are able to acheive:

I have an image upload facility in my asp.net project, when uploaded a thumbnail of the image is generated and saved to disk. What I would ideally like to do is apply some nice styling effects to this thumbnail image.. similar to the look of the icons on an iPhone.. perhaps a slight gradient, smooth rounded corners, and a border.

View 4 RepliesI'm attempting to grab an image from a webcam without having to connect a driver to a window. I'm predominately using code from a devx tutorial. On page two of the tutorial, it shows how to grab a frame using WM_CAP_EDIT_COPY. The only problem is, I don't want a preview window. I want to simply grab the image without having to associate a window handle to a PictureBox for previewing.

I have this as code to run the program
Process.Start(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString.Split(New String() {" "},
StringSplitOptions.None)(1))
Which used to work but then I added a "Preview image" function like this :
(ListBox1.SelectedItem.ToString.Split(New String() {" Image:"}, StringSplitOptions.None)(1))
I now discovered that the first code is useless, because it selects everything after " " to run, including the "Image:"
This is how a listbox item is stored:
Tomb Raider Level Editor - Original C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editor omb4.exe Image:C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editorload.bmp
As you can see it'll use this
C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editor
omb4.exe Image:C:Program FilesTomb Raider - Level Editorload.bmp
to run
Is there any way I can make it choose the path from " " and when it finds "image:" it stops?
