If ImagXpress is using an Evaluation license, ThumbnailXpress will watermark thumbnails regardless of how this property is set.

The default value is 0 - TN_Dialog.

In order to test the component in an application running as a service or other environments where the component does not have permissions to create a window, the application logic needs to set the EvaluationMode to TN_Watermark. In this mode, the component does not attempt to create the Evaluation Mode dialog window, but permanently watermarks all image data passed through it.

When running your project with the ThumbnailXpress component in TN_Watermark mode under the Visual Basic 6 IDE, the component will still display the evaluation dialog box. However, setting the EvaluationMode property to TN_Watermark will allow your Visual Basic 6 compiled executable to properly watermark the image.
