<h2>
<a name="prerequisites" id="prerequisites"></a>Tutorial Prerequisites</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Visual Studio 2012 / 2010 / 2008 / 2005</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>.NET Framework 4.5 / 4.0 / 3.5 / 3.0 / 2.0 (<strong><em>Compact
Framework is not supported</em></strong>)</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Visual C# or Visual Basic</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<a name="tutorial" id="tutorial"></a>Step-by-step Tutorial</h2>
<p>Start with a new "<strong><em>Windows Forms Application</em></strong>"
project. A designer with empty Form appears. Display the
<strong><em>Toolbox</em></strong> window (<strong><em>View -
Toolbox</em></strong>):</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart1.png"></p>
<p>The Toolbox should contain a new tab called
"<strong><em>ComponentOwl</em></strong>" containing all the installed component
from ComponentOwl, including Better Thumbnail Browser.</p>
<p>If you chose <strong><em>not to</em></strong> integrate component in
Visual Studio during installation or the component have not been
successfully integrated, please follow the next steps.</p>
<p>Right-click on empty area of the Toolbox window and select
"<strong><em>Choose Items...</em></strong>":</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart2.png"></p>
<p>In the "<strong><em>Choose Toolbox Items</em></strong>" dialog, select
the "<strong><em>.NET Framework Components</em></strong>" tab. If the comonent
has been properly installed, it will be already listed here. If you find
it, make sure the newest version is checked (e.g. 2.5.2.0 instead of
1.0.0.0) and click "<strong><em>OK</em></strong>":</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart3-1.png"></p>
<p>If you need other than installed version (e.g. DLL to match for
specific .NET Framework version) click on the
"<strong><em>Browse...</em></strong>" button:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart3-2.png"></p>
<p>Browse for the <span class="code">betterthumbnailbrowser.dll</span> file
containing the component.</p>
<p>The location depends on where you installed the product. The default
location is:</p>
<pre>C:\Program Files\Component Owl\Better ListView\Redistributable</pre>
<p>You can choose the file right within
"<strong><em>Redistributable</em></strong>" folder. This is .NET 2.0 component
compatible with .NET Framework 2.0 or higher. If you want binary for a
specific .NET version or Client Profile, choose the file from
"<strong><em>.NET Framework Specific</em></strong>" folder:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart4.png"></p>
<p>Make sure the check box next to
"<strong><em>BetterListView</em></strong>" is checked and click
"<strong><em>OK</em></strong>":</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart5.png"></p>
<p>Now the component should appear in your Toolbox:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart6.png"></p>
<p>Select the component and place it on designer surface:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart7.png"></p>
<p>Now you can design Better Thumbnail Browser the same way as any other
control:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart8.png"></p>
<h2>
<a name="troubleshooting" id="troubleshooting"></a>Installation
Troubleshooting</h2>
<p>If the component does not appear in Toolbox, make sure that your
target framework version is a full-featured .NET Framework 2.0, 3.0, 3.5
or 4.0. The Compact Framework is not supported.</p>
<p>You can also try the "<strong><em>Reset Toolbox</em></strong>" option
from the Toolbox context menu, restart Visual Studio and try to add the
control again.</p>
<p>Sometimes even the Toolbox can get corrupted (known issue on Visual
Studio 2010) and its cache needs to be cleared. Simply remove all
"<strong><em>.tbd</em></strong>" files from this folder:</p>
<p>Vista/Windows 7:</p>
<pre>\Users\&lt;user&gt;\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\*.tbd</pre>
<p>Windows XP:</p>
<pre>\Documents and Settings\&lt;user directory&gt;\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\*.tbd</pre>
<p>Make sure the Visual Studio is not running when removing the files.
The Toolbox should reload its default items when opened.</p>
<h2>
<a name="activation-online" id="activation-online"></a>Activation</h2>
<p>By default, Better Thumbnail Browser runs in
<strong><em>trial</em></strong> mode. The only limitations of
<strong><em>trial</em></strong> version are watermark displayed on the
control...</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart-watermark.png"></p>
<p>and an <strong><em>Activation Dialog</em></strong>, that appears on every
application run:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart-activation.png"></p>
<p>There are three possible actions:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Purchase</em></strong> - obtain serial key for Better
ThumbnailBrowser to activate it</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Activate</em></strong> - enter serial key to obtain
license</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong><em>Continue</em></strong> (or close the dialog) - skip this
dialog and start using Better Thumbnail Browser</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>When activating Better Thumbnail Browser, you are asked for a serial
key (obtained by <strong><em><a href="../pricing-licensing/better-thumbnail-browser.html">pruchasing
Better Thumbnail Browser</a></em></strong>):</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart-sn.png"></p>
<br><hr>
<p class="note">Internet connection is required to activate Better
ThumbnailBrowser. If you need to activate the product off-line, please
<strong><em><a href="mailto:support@componentowl.com?subject=Offline%20Activation%20of%20Better%20ListView">contact
us</a></em></strong>.</p>
<hr>
<br><p>When the Better Thumbnail Browser is activated, it uses the standard
licensing scheme of .NET. When a form is created or opened in
<strong><em>Windows Forms Designer</em></strong>, a
<strong><em>licenses.licx</em></strong> file is updated in your project and the
trial version notification disappears.</p>
<h2>
<a name="activation-offline" id="activation-offline"></a>Offline Activation</h2>
<p>If the activation is blocked by a firewall or proxy server, you can
activate Better Thumbnail Browser <strong><em>offline</em></strong>.</p>
<p>First, call the following static method from code:</p>
<pre>BetterThumbnailBrowser.ShowOfflineActivationDialog()</pre>
<p>A dialog appears containing your computer ID:</p>
<p class="images"><img src="../documentation/better-thumbnail-browser/data/quickstart-activation-offline.png"></p>
<p>Please copy this code to clipboard (Control+C) and send us the code
along with your <strong><em>serial number</em></strong> you obtained when
purchased the product to <strong><em><a href="mailto:support@componentowl.com?subject=Offline%20Activation%20of%20Better%20ListView">support@componentowl.com</a></em></strong>.</p>
<p>The serial number is a 16-character code the identifies your
purchased product, e.g.:</p>
<p></p>
<pre>5KTPNX6QNJBZNJTL</pre>The computer ID is
rather longer code that is unique to your machine:
<pre>6780f65cb1b86f9a10dacc662906c3d371ab4abc</pre>
<p>With this information, we will generate a license file and send it
to back to you via e-mail.</p>
<p>You can find a file <span class="code">license-btb.dat</span> in the e-mail
attachment we send in reply. Please copy this file in the following path
(and create the folder <span class="code">Component Owl</span> if it does not
exist):</p>
<p>Windows 7, 8, Vista:</p>
<pre>c:\ProgramData\Component Owl\</pre>
<p>Windows XP:</p>
<pre>c:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Component Owl\</pre>
<p>Now just rebuild the project referencing Better Thumbnail Browser and
you are done.</p>
<p>Please note the license works for <strong><em>specific
product</em></strong> and <strong><em>specific computer</em></strong>. It won't
work on other machines or with other Component Owl's products. You need to
activate Better Thumbnail Browser for each machine on which you want to
build projects.</p>
<h2>Updating to Newer Version of Better Thumbnail Browser</h2>
<p>If a new version of Better Thumbnail Browser is released, to update
to newer version, simply <strong><em><a href="../betterlistview.exe">download</a></em></strong>
and install the new version. The installer will prompt for updating to a
new version.</p>
<p>The DLL with the component (<span class="code">betterthumbnailbrowser.dll</span>)
is installed usually in <strong><em>Program Files</em></strong> folder, so if
you use copies of the library on other locations on your disk, replace the
old copies with the new version.</p>
<p>The <strong><em>licenses.licx</em></strong> file in your project may also
point to an older version of Better Thumbnail Browser. To update
<strong><em>licenses.licx</em></strong> open some form with Better
ThumbnailBrowser in <strong><em>Windows Forms Designer</em></strong> and
compile. A new line will be added to the
<strong><em>licenses.licx</em></strong> for the new version of the Better
ThumbnailBrowser. You can delete the line with the reference to older
version, e.g.:</p>
<pre>ComponentOwl.ThumbnailBrowser.ThumbnailBrowser, ThumbnailBrowser, Version=1.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e6c91a3add447be2</pre>
<p>should be switched to:</p>
<pre>ComponentOwl.ThumbnailBrowser.ThumbnailBrowser, ThumbnailBrowser, Version=2.7.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=e6c91a3add447be2</pre>
<p>if <span class="code">2.7.0.0</span> is the updated version of Better
ThumbnailBrowser. You can do the update of
<strong><em>licenses.licx</em></strong> file with text editor within
<strong><em>Visual Studio</em></strong>, if you know the new version
number.</p>
<p><br></p>
<hr>
<p class="note">If you use Better Thumbnail Browser in separate project, you need
to copy <strong><em>licenses.licx</em></strong> file to the main project as
well.</p>
<hr>
<br><h2>
<a name="starting" id="starting"></a>Starting with Better
ThumbnailBrowser</h2>
<p>Better Thumbnail Browser inherits from Better ListView control, which
is made as similar to regular .NET ListView as possible while having all
its extra features. Better Thumbnail Browser uses its own item type -
BetterThumbnailBrowserItem (which inherits from BetterListViewItem).
Please keep this in mind when filling the control with thumbnail items.
For other types, see the following rules of thumb:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Most structures are named equally as in .NET ListView, only with
<strong><em>Better-</em></strong> prefix (e.g.
<span class="code">BetterListViewSubItem</span> instead of
<span class="code">ListViewSubItem</span>).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Better ListView <strong><em>does not</em></strong> use the same
structures and classes as .NET ListView (e.g. use
<span class="code">ComponentOwl.BetterListView.BetterListViewView</span> instead of
<span class="code">System.Windows.Forms.View</span>).</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Many features and structures of Better Thumbnail Browser (or
Better ListView) are richer (e.g. insertion mark, Drag and Drop
functionality). The types contain extra overrides for constructors,
methods and properties. They should be sometimes used differently and
they behave little bit differently; look in the documentation first to
avoid confusion.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To compare usage of .NET ListView and Better Thumbnail Browser,
consider the following code using Better Thumbnail Browser instead of the
regular .NET ListView.</p>
<p><strong>C#</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code class="lang-cs">BetterThumbnailBrowser thumbnailBrowser = new BetterThumbnailBrowser();
BetterThumbnailBrowserItem item = new BetterThumbnailBrowserItem("new thumbnail item");
thumbnailBrowser.Items.Add(item);
thumbnailBrowser.View = BetterListViewView.List;
// ...
BetterListViewHitTestInfo hitTestInfo = thumbnailBrowser.HitTest(new Point(0, 0));</code></pre>
<p><strong>Visual Basic</strong></p>
<pre class="prettyprint"><code class="lang-vb">Dim thumbnailBrowser As New BetterThumbnailBrowser()
Dim item As New BetterThumbnailBrowserItem("new item")
thumbnailBrowser.Items.Add(item)
thumbnailBrowser.View = BetterListViewView.List
' ...
Dim hitTestInfo As BetterListViewHitTestInfo = thumbnailBrowser.HitTest(New Point(0, 0))</code></pre>
