Steps for Using the PDF Thumbnail Control

  1. Import the trial Developer License:

    License.Import(new StreamReader(@”C:\Users\Joe\license.xml”));

  2. Locate the PDF files using OpenFileDialog:

    OpenFileDialog OpFile = new OpenFileDialog();
    //show only PDF Files
    OpFile.Filter = “PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf”;

    if (OpFile.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK)
    {

  3. Create a Editable Thumbnail Control Using PagesModel:


    //Create a new PagesModel called model
    PagesModel model = new PagesModel();

    //Add the selected file to the model
    model.OpenPDF(OpFile.FileName);

    //Add the thumbnail control to the model
    thumbnails1.Model = model;
    }

    private void frmWebDocs_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
    {
    //Manage what happens if the form is closed with no thumbnails loaded
    if (thumbnails1.Model != null)
    {
    thumbnails1.Model.Close();
    }
    }
