To specify a custom thumbnail to a normal item( that is, an item belonging to the shell's namespace and not added to FileView using AddCustomItem), use the following code in the AfterItemAdd event of FileView

[C#]

private void fileView1_AfterItemAdd(object sender, LogicNP.FileViewControl.FileViewEventArgs e)

{

// Only change icon index if FileView is in thumbnail mode

if(fileView1.ViewStyle==ViewStyles.Thumbnails)

{

// Replace following condition with your own condition

// Only display a custom thumbnail for folders

if(e.Item.IsFolder())

{

// Add a custom thumbnail to the thumbnail image list of FileView

int index = fileView1.AddCustomIcon(new Bitmap(@"C:\my_thumbnail.bmp"),FileViewImageLists.ThumbnailFramed);

// Change the icon index of the item to that returned by the previous method

e.Item.IconIndex=index;

}

}

}
