Thumbnail image creator in a DLL???

All,

I am looking to create a picture upload section of an xb2net weeb server I have written.  I will have the users be able to upload images that I will catalog and then present back in a web page that displays a list of "thumbnails" that when clicked will open a new window that downloads and displays the full size image.  In order to do this, I will need to create the "thumbnail" when the full size image is uploaded.  I was looking for a DLL that I could load and call functions to do the job.  The other alternative would be to shell out to a utility that handles command parameters.

Does anyone know of any such utilities?

A quick Google search did not turn up anything of interest.


Thanks!

Jim,

Hope all's well with you..

You can create the thumbnails yourself in xbase++

We used to do it, but switched to creating them on the desktop and sending them up to our sites.

If you don't have xbase control of the client's desktop environment, just create them yourself in the xb2net server, or shell to s specific xbase app which does only that.

All the best..

Brian
