Drawing Thumbnails

C

I am trying to create an application that will start off with a bunch of
thumbnails of drawings (say all drawings in a particular directory). When
a thumbnail is clicked, the corresponding drawing will be loaded. It seems
like a simple thing to do, but I'm not sure how the thumbnails can be
created.

Please let me know if you have any solution in mind or some route I can
take - thanks!

Visio has a Document.PreviewPicture property that will return an EMF
thumbnail for the drawing. You could use this in your application. If you
want to get the thumbnail from the file system instead, there may be a
Windows API function to do that.
