IsLoadingThumbnails Property

Summary

Determines if the control is still loading thumbnails in the background.

Syntax

C#
C++/CLI
C++
public bool IsLoadingThumbnails { get; } 
[BrowsableAttribute(false)] 
public: 
property bool IsLoadingThumbnails { 
   bool get(); 
} 
public:  
   property bool IsLoadingThumbnails 
   { 
      bool get() 
   } 

Property Value

true if the control is still loading thumbnails in the background; otherwise, false.

Remarks

When the LoadThumbnails(String,String,RasterThumbnailBrowserLoadFlags) method is called in a non-blocking manner, the thumbnails for the items will be created in a background thread. You can check the IsLoadingThumbnails property at any time to determine whether the control is still loading thumbnails or not. You can also use the FinishedLoadingThumbnails event to receive notification from the control when the loading operation is complete.
