ltjs.Controls.js 
```

Open the default.html file and copy the below html code into the editor:

<!DOCTYPE html>   
<html>   
<head>   
   <meta charset="utf-8" />   
   <title>WinRT_LoadDisplay</title>  
                  
   <!-- WinJS references -->  
   <link href="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/css/ui-dark.css" rel="stylesheet" />  
   <script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/base.js"></script>  
   <script src="//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/ui.js"></script>  
                  
   <!-- LoadDisplay references -->  
   <script src="/js/ltjs.js" ></script>  
   <script src="/js/ltjs.Controls.js" ></script>  
   <link href="/css/default.css"rel="stylesheet"/>  
   <script src="/js/default.js" ></script>  
                 </head>   
                 <body>   
 <div>  
    <div>  
       <button id="openFileButton">Open File</button>  
    </div>  
 </div>  
 <div style="bottom: 1pt; background-color: white; width: 100; height">  
       <div style="max-width: 800px; width: 100; height; margin: 0px auto; background:gray">  
          <div id="imageViewerDiv"style="position: relative; width: 100; height; border: 1px; -ms-overflow-style: scrollbar">  
          </div>  
       </div>  
 </div>  
 <div>  
    <div> <textarea id="imageInfo" style="background: black; color: white"></textarea>  
    </div>  
 </div>  
                 </body>  
                 </html>

Change to default.js in the Solution Explorer and add the following variables to the file:

var _imageViewer = null ; 
var _extensions = new Array  
(  
   ".jpg",   
   ".png",   
   ".bmp",   
   ".pcx",   
   ".psd",   
   ".cmp",   
   ".tif",   
   ".tiff",   
   ".j2k",   
   ".jbg",   
   ".gif",   
   ".jls",   
   ".jb2",   
   ".dcm",   
   ".dic",   
   ".pdf"  
);

Update the onactivated() function as shown below:

app.onactivated = function (args) {  
 if (args.detail.kind === activation.ActivationKind.launch) {  
    if (args.detail.previousExecutionState !== activation.ApplicationExecutionState.terminated) {  
       Leadtools.RasterSupport.initialize();  
       createViewer();  
       document.getElementById("openFileButton").addEventListener("click", loadDisplay, false);  
    } else {  
       // Restore application state here.  
    }  
    args.setPromise(WinJS.UI.processAll());  
 }  
                 };

Add the following functions:

function loadDisplay() { 
 // Create a file picker object.  
 var openPicker = new Windows.Storage.Pickers.FileOpenPicker(); 
 openPicker.viewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.thumbnail; 
 openPicker.suggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.picturesLibrary; 
 openPicker.SuggestedStartLocation = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerLocationId.PicturesLibrary; 
 openPicker.ViewMode = Windows.Storage.Pickers.PickerViewMode.List; 
                    
 // Loop through the LEADTOOLS supported file types and add them to the picker  
 for (var  i = 0; i < _extensions.length; i++) { 
    openPicker.fileTypeFilter.append(_extensions[i]); 
 } 
                 
 // Open the picker for the user to pick a file.  
 openPicker.pickSingleFileAsync().then(function (file) { 
 if (!file) { 
    // The picker was dismissed with no selected file.  
    return; 
 } 
                 
 var codecs = new Leadtools.Codecs.RasterCodecs(); 
 // Create a LEAD stream for the file.  
 var leadStream = Leadtools.LeadStreamFactory.create(file); 
                 
 // Load it  
 codecs.loadAsync(leadStream).then(function (rasterImage) { 
 var width = rasterImage.width; 
 var height = rasterImage.height; 
                 
 var canvas = document.createElement("canvas"); 
 var context = canvas.getContext("2d"); 
                 
 canvas.width = width; 
 canvas.height = height; 
                 
 var imageData = context.createImageData(rasterImage.width, rasterImage.height); 
 var pixelData = imageData.data; 
                 
 var srcRect = Leadtools.LeadRectHelper.empty; 
 var destRect = Leadtools.LeadRectHelper.create(0, 0, rasterImage.width, rasterImage.height); 
                 
 var properties = new Leadtools.Converters.RasterImageRenderProperties(); 
 var renderBuffer = Leadtools.Converters.RasterRenderBuffer.createFromHtmlImageData(imageData.width, imageData.height, pixelData); 
 Leadtools.Converters.RasterImageRenderer.render(rasterImage, renderBuffer, srcRect, destRect, properties); 
 context.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0); 
                 
 _imageViewer.set_imageUrl(canvas.toDataURL()); 
                 
 document.getElementById("imageInfo").textContent = String.format("Image Name: {0}\n Size: {1} x {2}", file.name, width, height); 
                 
 }, function (e) { 
       Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog('Image failed to load').showAsync(); 
    }); 
 }); 
                 } 
                 
                 function createViewer() { 
 var createOptions = new ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerCreateOptions('imageViewerDiv', 'myViewer'); 
 _imageViewer = new ltjs.Controls.ImageViewer(createOptions); 
 _imageViewer.add_imageError(function (sender, e) { 
 var image = e.get_nativeElementEvent().srcElement; 
 Windows.UI.Popups.MessageDialog('Cannot open: ' + image.src).showAsync(); 
 }); 
 _imageViewer.set_imageHorizontalAlignment(ltjs.Controls.ControlAlignment.center); 
 _imageViewer.set_imageVerticalAlignment(ltjs.Controls.ControlAlignment.center); 
 _imageViewer.set_newImageResetOptions(ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerNewImageResetOptions.scrollOffset |   ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerNewImageResetOptions.reverse |   ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerNewImageResetOptions.flip |   ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerNewImageResetOptions.rotateAngle |   ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerNewImageResetOptions.invert |   ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerNewImageResetOptions.aspectRatioCorrection); 
 _imageViewer.set_defaultInteractiveMode(new ltjs.Controls.ImageViewerPanZoomInteractiveMode()); 
                 }

Build, and Run the program to test it.
Click the Open File button, and select an image.
