Can I show the preview of a file with Image class ?
sample I have namedoc.doc or noname.pdf can I show the preview on dialog ?

Hello,
It is not an easy task, I quickly made this example of use of IPreviewHandler. But It looks that work only with pdf file

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

#include <fivewin.ch>

memvar oPreview

function main()

   local oDlg
   public oPreview
   // IMPORTANT!!
   CoInitialize()
   
   DEFINE WINDOW oDlg FROM  0,0 TO 650,650 PIXEL TITLE "Test"
   oPreview := AddPreview( oDlg:hWnd, {10,10,610,610}, "C:\Users\aperricone\Downloads\grid.pdf")
   ACTIVATE WINDOW oDlg CENTERED

return nil

Antonio,
any solution with borland bc582 ?

Antonio,
any solution with borland bc582 ?

in Bcc693 is ok.
Silvio in bcc582 is not posible
IPreviewHandler declaration is in ShObjodl.h header file in bcc693.
In bcc582 ShObjodl.h header not exist IPreviewHandler declaration .

working with bcc7.
I have a slightly different code but we need bcc7 for handling the latest interfaces.

[mastintin]

I spent part of a c ++ code and it works with xls and doc files.
When you have finished public code

Yes, for me too.

[nageswaragunupudi]

Can I show the preview of a file with Image class ?
sample I have namedoc.doc or noname.pdf can I show the preview on dialog ?

As of now, ximage can display previews of docx, xlsx and pptx if they are saved with thumbnails.

[mastintin]

the code for IPreviewHandler ...
It has a big problem that I can not solve ,suggestions are welcome.
if we load Excel or Word documents, the process is not killed and excel process is in memory .
I've tried several ways but does not work. not dispose excel process.

Warning, you use C++ interface, might not compile in C mode!
you should add (i forgot) after

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

pPreview->Unload();

the

Code: Select all  Expand view  RUN

pPreview->Release();

Necessary to destroy all COM object.

As we already said in http://forums.fivetechsupport.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=31014
you can remove all #ifdef WIN64 using hb_parptr and hb_retptr, using the pointer vartype that is an Harbour extension.

Glad you made it working for bcc582
Is it working for you for pdf (most important) and others like image files, text files, etc?

Excel process. I think we can leave it. If you insist on closing it ...

First open excel with ole and also ascertain if we started it and it was started earlier by the user.
After this program is over, if we started excel, then quit the app with ole otherwise leave it (user was using it before)

[mastintin]

Nages, bcc582 is not supported.
txt, bat file not work properly yet ( I've looked )
AntoninoP , thank you very much for your remarks . I've placed the code in gdiplus.cpp for now

[mastintin]

Bcc582 compiled and pdf work
I had to make some changes in the code to compile in bcc582 .
I added the definitions missing in shobjidl.h header file in an extra h file .... Shextra.h
