dwgthumnail white background

hi,

I use the dwgthumbnail control but it gives me a white background. I have tried everything (at least i think so):

set the setiing of the control to black on white
set the setiing of the control to white on black

save the dwg with white background
save the dwg with black background
save the dwg as acad 2000 format

could it be i need a newer version of the control? I have version 1.7.

thanks in advance for any help on this,

Emmanuel

 

Ele,

"I have tried everything (at least i think so):"

Have you looked at changing either the BackColor or BitMapBackColor property of the Thumbnail control? I think you'll find your solution there.

Good luck,

Have you found a solution yet? I have the very same problem. All drawings
showing with a white background as if they were saved that way
and they are not.

 

yes i did,

someone sent me the version 2.0. that solved it. if you post your email address, i can send you the ocx 2.0

What I ended up doing is just going to a different control, the bitmap
preview posted at "cadvault.com"
it works great, seems more flexible, includes source code and, since its not
from Autodesk you dont have to
worry about anyone getting anal over your using it.

address, i can send you the ocx 2.0

 

i got that link from someone as well and tried it.

However, i was not able to get a file showing in the window. I tried bmp, dwg in any possible way but to no avail.

 

Hi,

I'm interested in the 2.0 OCX. I'd really appreciate it if someone would send it to me.
