Vista - Now for XP not only Vista = preview handlers!

12-28-2007

You sure wont miss vista now :-)

http://www.azarfamily.org/previewhandlersforwindowsxp

As soon as I've installed Microsoft Office 2007, I've noticed this new
Preview Handlers feature integrated into Outlook's Reading Pane. So I
thought to myself, "hey, that's pretty cool! Let's download some previewers
from the net!". But oh what a disappointment, no Preview Handler that worked
under Windows XP sp2 could be found! How can that be?

My spirits were down, but I did not lose hope. I started reading here and
there, found this really cool implementation of preview handlers (written in
C#) for Windows Vista by Stephen Toub (thanks Stephen! ^_^), but as cool as
that implementation might be, it only worked under Vista, which was very
frustrating for me...

So I decided to download the Windows SDK and try my luck with this new
(incredibly unsupported) feature. After a few nights I have developed the
code you can download here, for free

Supported Types
PDF - This handler uses Adobe Acrobat Reader's ActiveX control.

SWF - (NEW!) This handler uses Adobe Shockwave Flash's ActiveX control.

HTML/HTM/XML - This handler works about the same but with Internet
Explorer's ActiveX control. I probably should have added a few more file
types to this handler.

ASF/WMV/WMA/AVI/WAV/MPG/MPEG/MP3/MIDI/AIFF/AU - The same, but with Windows
Media Player's ActiveX. I didn't test all of these, but they should work
fine.

ZIP/GADGET/MSI/RESX/SNK/KEYS - I didn't implement them myself, but only
forwarded interface calls to Stephen Toub's managed preview handlers. You
can find them here, along with other useful information about preview
handlers (hey, it helped me write my code...).

CS/VB/SQL/JS - like the previous group, I didn't implement them, but added
them to my nifty wrapper. For these file types I used the implementation
that can be found here in Tim Heuer's blog (thanks a bunch Tim!).

for people to know

them in XP too...

Think about what you just said. This is a VISTA ng, not XP. The people here,
EXCEPT for the trolls are using this as an information and help forum for
VISTA. Also, WHY exactly is it important for the user to know WHAT a preview
handler is in VISTA? You make it sound like this grand invention, when all
it is a small R-O preview of the file's contents. While I am sure this item
is useful to you and all, you may be better served just keeping it confined
to the XP group. So given the fact that it IS a VISTA group, and cross
posting doesn't excuse it, your post by definition IS either trolling or
SPAM. Which is it?
