Hey,

Just wondering if anyone has tried to make and published a control that would show up images in a windows explorer style where the files are in large tab mode so you see thumbnails of each of the images.

Long shot i realise Any suggestions on how to do this would be really appriciated if there's not one already.

Thanks,
Tim.

Hi,

I don't think such a thing already exists.

You probably don't want to be generating the 'icons' on the fly all the time, which means dynamically generating an Imageset that contains the icons / thumbnails. You can then use the Images from the Imageset, perhaps via c custom checkbox skin (checkbox is just a toggle-button), to display the icons and have them selectable.

How you go about generating a texture containing the source icon imagery, is left as an exercise for yourself
