You don't create the preview... Windows does. When a user picks your screen saver from the list, Windows launches your .scr application inside the Screen Saver picker and displays it in the preview window automatically. You don't have to do anything other than make sure your screen saver works.

If you want to show a preview of your screen saver inside your properties window, that is a different story. That isn't typically done but I would suggest you start with an image control and an update timer that updates your preview every so often.

You will have to figure out what properties you want on your screen saver and how you will manage them.
