Hey Folks, It look likes this method has not been implemented. I just want to throw out some thoughts on it. I may take a whack at this over the weekend.
It appears that the image is in WMF or Clipboard (BMP?) format. Here are some links with sourcecode or discussion of PID_THUMBNAIL... http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/publink/file/OLE2SummaryAgainst_file-3.27.patch http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dno97ta/html/msdn_docprop.asp I think the return type of this as a convenience method ought to be a java.awt.Image. Maybe one version returns a byte array and one returns an Image? I think Image is probably the best as it is a convenience method. However, backwards compatibility may be an issue. getThumbnailAsImage() maybe? Do Office documents use PID_THUMBNAIL? Do they actually put a WMF image in the property stream? Often I see see comments next to it indicating it isn't used. Will the POIBrowser be implemented in the next binary build? It seems useful, but I can't find it in my binary distribution. Thanks, Drew ___________________ Drew Varner [EMAIL PROTECTED]
