This property sets the thumbnail file used by the Thumbnail Control.

[C++Builder]   thumbcontrolname->ThumbnailFile[ = UnicodeString ]
[Delphi]   thumbcontrolname.ThumbnailFile[ = string ]

Property Value

The thumbnail file name (full path)

Explanation

The ThumbnailFile property sets the thumbnail file used by the Thumbnail Control. By setting the filename and path in this property and executing the UpdateThumbnailFile method, the Thumbnail Control creates a thumbnail.dat file that is used to make subsequent loading of the thumbnail images faster. The Thumbnail file will load the images in the folders specified by the FilePath property. If the FilePath property is changed be sure to change the ThumbnailFile property accordingly.

To display only the list of image files set in the ListOfFileNames property (not display the images included in the thumbnail file), set an empty string in this property.
