  • It's called SelectPictureDialog and can be found easily in C#. 
    I don't know if something like this exists in C++ but You can check it anyway.

    If You think You know better then me, why is Your code not working, then don't waste my time at this forum. Otherwise - do as I'm suggesting.

  • Use IImaging API (WM5+ only). Look for IImage::GetThumbnail .

  • Thnaks for the answer. Unfortunately I do not find something like SelectPictureDialog in C++.
    Any other suggestions (for example how to fast create thumbnails on WM would be helpful)? Thnaks.
