Public Property MaximumThumbnailBitDepth As Long |
Remarks
The default value is 24 bpp.
Valid values are 8 and 24.
The MaximumThumbnailBitDepth property controls the maximum color depth of the images generated to represent a thumbnail item in the control. For example, if the image is a 24-bit color image, and MaximumThumbnailBitDepth is 8, the thumbnail image that is displayed will only be an 8-bit device independent bitmap.
Reducing the bit depth conserves memory and increases the number of thumbnail items which can fit into the cache, but may produce a lower quality thumbnail bitmap.
