Browses the specified directory for supported images, and generates thumbnails for each image file that is found.

Parameter	Description
pszPath	Character string containing the name of the directory to browse for images
pszFilter	Character string containing the file filter to use for browsing. Ex. *.jpg
pThumbOptions	Pointer to a structure containing the thumbnail creation options for the browser.
bStopOnError	Flag that indicates whether or not to stop generating thumbnails when an error occurs. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Stop generating thumbnails if an error occurs.
	FALSE	Do not stop generating thumbnails if an error occurs.
bIncludeSubDirs	Flag that indicates whether or not to recurse subdirectories when looking for files. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Recurse subdirectories.
	FALSE	Do not recurse subdirectories.
bExpandMultipage	Flag that indicates whether or not to expand multi-page files. If True, each page from a multi-page file will be loaded. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Expand multi-page files, loading each page from a multi-page file.
	FALSE	Do not expand multi-page files.
lSizeDisk	Maximum size of file to load. Use this to limit the size of images that the browse will attempt to load. Pass 0 for no limit.
lSizeMem	Maximum size of image in memory to load. Use this to limit the size of images that the browse will attempt to load. Pass 0 for no limit.
pfnBrowseDirCB	Callback function required for handling each of the generated thumbnails. You must specify a callback in order to process the thumbnails.The callback function must adhere to the function prototype described in BROWSEDIRCALLBACK Function.
pUserData	Void pointer that you can use to pass one or more additional parameters that the callback function needs. To use this feature, assign a value to a variable or create a structure that contains as many fields as you need. Then, in this parameter, pass the address of the variable or structure, casting it to L_VOID L_FAR *. The callback function, which receives the address in its own pUserData parameter, can cast it to a pointer of the appropriate data type to access your variable or structure. If the additional parameters are not needed, you can pass NULL in this parameter.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

Use this function to browse a directory for image files that LEADTOOLS supports. Each supported file that is found will be loaded, and a thumbnail will be generated for the image. In the callback function, you can process the thumbnail in any manner your application requires. For example, you can add the thumbnails to the LEADTOOLS ImageList Control.

If 0 is specified for either nThumbHeight or nThumbWidth, the image will not be resized. The whole image will be returned in the BROWSEDIRCALLBACK function.

If –1 is specified for either the nThumbHeight or nThumbWidth, the image will not be loaded at all. The BROWSEDIRCALLBACK function will be called for each file, but will only receive file information, not a valid image.
