I've got this code to thumbnail images
Try
' set delegate
Dim currentCallback As Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort = New Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(AddressOf ThumbnailCallback)
' get the current image
[code]....
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.
I 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:

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.
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 RepliesCan 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?

I've been asked to get the page counts for documents stored as tif files. What I have now is looping through our third party software to open them and then get the page count. I can't stop the image from flashing and it is very slow. Does anyone know of a way to loop through them quickly and can the page counts (one image can have many documents)?

View 1 RepliesI am trying to get vb.net 2008 to display a Word document within a form. (I have an emailer where the user selects a Word document to mail-merge from a list and I need to be able to display the document so they can be sure it is the right one). At the moment I am trying to use the web browser control but this is giving me the following problems....
1. How to prevent the file download (open/save/cancel) dialog from displaying.
2. In Office 2007 it is opening the document in a separate instance of MS Word.
Scenario: I have about 14000 word documents that need to be converted from "Microsoft Word 97 - 2003 Document" to "Microsoft Word Document". In other words upgraded to 2010 format (.docx).
Question: Is there an easy way to do this using API's or something? Note: I've only been able to find a microsoft program that converts the documents to .docx but they still open in compatability mode. It would be nice if they could just be converted to the new format. Same functionality you get when you open an old document and it gives you the option to convert it.[URL]..EDIT2: This is my current function for converting the documents
[Code]...
Also it opens word after about 2 or 3 conversions and starts flashing but keeps converting.EDIT3: Tweaked to code above a little bit and it runs cleaner. Takes 1min10sec to convert 8 files though. Considering I have 14000 I need to convert this method will take a reasonably long time.
EDIT4: Changed the code up again. Uses a threadpool now. Seems to run a bit faster. Still need to run on a better computer to convert all the documents. Or do them slowly by folder. Can anyone think of any other way to optimize this?

What would be the best approach for creating MS Word 2007 documents with vb.net that contains signature lines? I am currently in the planning phase of a project and I'm trying to gather some info. The idea would be to upgrade this program we have already developed(using vb.net) to generate .docx files that contain signature lines that are created progmatically. The signatures would be added later by the user through a workflow in SharePoint I just need to create the document with the lines. I have seen different tutorials on creating word docs, but not sure which method would be the best for what I'm doing. Where should I start looking?
Also, there doesnt seem to be too many tutorials on adding signatures line through code, more specifically how to automate the signature line setup. e.g. Who should sign, signers name, signers email address. How do I set these paramaters through code?
I'm using vb.net to check that certain Excel or Word documents exist in a folder.
EG
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyExcelFile.xls")
strFileFound = Dir("C:TestFolderMyWordDoc.doc")
If the documents are created using Excel 97 or Word 97 the files are found. If the the documents are created using Excel 2007 or Word 2007 the files are not found.
I have checked the permissions between the two different versions and they appear to be the same.
why Dir dosen't work with Excel 2007 and Word 2007 files?
Open Microsoft Word documents from VB?
View 1 RepliesI want to open a number of RTF documents in Word 2007, one at a time, in a VB .NET program. Here is a small representative sample of my code:
Imports Word = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word
Public Shared WordApp As Object = Nothing
Public Shared WordAppInit As Boolean = False
Public Shared Sub ExecWord()
If Not WordAppInit Then
On Error Resume Next
[Code] .....
Sometimes it hangs on one of the WordApp or WordDoc statements in TestSub1; sometimes it gets all the way through TestSub1 without problems but then hangs in TestSub2. Often it leaves an instance of WinWord running so that I have to kill it in Task Manager or reboot the system.
i have a button and a text box so far, ooh ahh, when i push the button the text boxs text is set to the contents of a word document via the my.computer.filesystem.readalltext(file directory as string) method, because i dont want other people screwing with the document i have password protected the word document with the password eragon, so for those who are slow thinkers, not that you are that means i know the password to the doc. the problem is that because the doc. is password protected my program just shows four odd symbols, what code do i need to add to make my program auto unlock the file.

I am working on a project where I need to open microsoft word documents in a form with a panel (the document will be put into a panel).I found the code to try and use API, it would not recognize the file names (yes they are valid filenames).Tried a whole bunch of stuff. Here is my current incarnation:
Dim pi As New Process
Dim i As IntPtr
pi.StartInfo.FileName = FileName[code]....
It ALWAYS starts the word document in its own window and will not redirect it to my own program.I tried to redirect the output and it gave me a message that it was not a valid win32 application.
I would like to know if it is possible to have dynamic data in word (2003) documents. Let me explain, I will start with what we do now and how I would like to fix or change it.We have approx 35 , we will call them divisions for the time being, and each division has a folder on the shared drive. We have approx 700 ,lets call them customers for the time, and each customer has a folder located in the associated division folder on the shared Drive. (\DriveDivision#1Customer#1...\DriveDivision#32Customer#348 etc etc etc .)There is a MSword2003 document that exists in every Customer Folder that contains data about that customer (including but not limited too.Contacts, Notes, Customer #s etc) We will call this the DeCust.doc file for the time. A lot of the information in these DeCust.doc files can exist in another customers DeCust.doc files such as a contact name and address. One of the problems we run into is that a contact (lets say Smiths Plumbing Service) may send an email to notify of an address change and the person receiving the email will change the contacts address in the DeCust.doc files of the customers that that employee (employee #1) works with but, there are other DeCust.doc files in other customer folders that the address never gets changed in. When a different employee (employee #2) opens a deCust.doc file of a different customer that he/she works with the contact (Smiths Plumbing Service) the address of this deCust.doc: file is wrong (not updated).
I would like to solve this problem. I have already developed a Demo VB/Database application to be used in lieu of the DeCust.doc files but, I have met Way too much resistance in getting people to switch from using individual docs in each customer folder to using a database program. With that being said, I started wondering if there was a way to Link/populate/fill the contact information in these DeCust.Doc files to a central Database or such that when someone changes an address for a contact it is simultaneously changed in all the other DeCust.doc files.
