Thumbnail viewer control in VS2005 is not working in Windows 7

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

We are using a Thumbnail viewer control in VB.Net VS2005 windows project. This control is using a .ocx file from vb6 com. To use this control in VB.Net we wrap the .ocx file in AxInterop.WEBVWLib.dll and Interop.WEBVWLib.dll. The application is working fine in all OS except Windows 7.

In Windows 7, the system is crashing when we open the screen which is using the Thumbnail Viewer control.

The error information is ...

A dynamic link library (DLL) initialization routine failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007045A)
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Jerin.

As far as I can tell, it's not going to work. Most of the functionality of this library was exposed through Shell32.dll. There is no equivilent replacement for webvw.dll.

You may want to try the Windows 7 API Code Pack[^] and see if it offers the functionality you're looking for.
