Constants

 
WTS_NONE
Value: 0
0x00000000. Introduced in Windows 8. None of the following options are set.
WTS_EXTRACT
Value: 0
Default. 0x00000000. Extract the thumbnail if it is not cached.
WTS_INCACHEONLY
Value: 0x1
0x00000001. Only return the thumbnail if it is cached.
WTS_FASTEXTRACT
Value: 0x2
0x00000002. If not cached, only extract the thumbnail if it is embedded in EXIF format, typically 96x96.
WTS_FORCEEXTRACTION
Value: 0x4
0x00000004. Ignore cache and extract thumbnail from source file.
WTS_SLOWRECLAIM
Value: 0x8
0x00000008. The thumbnail has an extended lifetime. Use for volumes that might go offline, like non-fixed disks.
WTS_EXTRACTDONOTCACHE
Value: 0x20
0x00000020. Extract but do not add the thumbnail to the cache.
WTS_SCALETOREQUESTEDSIZE
Value: 0x40
0x00000040. Introduced in Windows 7. If the specific thumbnail size requested in the cxyRequestedThumbSize parameter is not available, resize the thumbnail to the requested size. If possible, a larger bitmap is reduced in scale, preserving its aspect ratio, to the width and height required. If the only available cached thumbnail is smaller than the requested size, then it is scaled up using the nearest-neighbor algorithm.
WTS_SKIPFASTEXTRACT
Value: 0x80
0x00000080. Introduced in Windows 7. Do not extract a thumbnail embedded in the metadata of an EXIF image.
WTS_EXTRACTINPROC
Value: 0x100
0x00000100. Introduced in Windows 7. Ensures that the thumbnail handler is loaded in the same process as the caller. When this flag is not specified, the handler is loaded into a surrogate process to protect the caller from unexpected crashes caused by the processing of the target file. Use this value when debugging thumbnail extractors.
WTS_CROPTOSQUARE
Value: 0x200
0x00000200. Introduced in Windows 8. If necessary, crop the bitmap's dimensions so that is square. The length of the shortest side becomes the length of all sides.
WTS_INSTANCESURROGATE
Value: 0x400
0x00000400. Introduced in Windows 8. Create a surrogate for this instance of the cache rather than using the shared DLLHost surrogate.
WTS_REQUIRESURROGATE
Value: 0x800
0x00000800. Introduced in Windows 8. Require extractions to take place in the surrogate.
WTS_APPSTYLE
Value: 0x2000
0x00002000. Windows 8 and later. Pass the WTSCF_APPSTYLE flag to IThumbnailSettings::SetContext, if the provider supports it.
WTS_WIDETHUMBNAILS
Value: 0x4000
0x00004000. Windows 8 and later. Stretch and crop the bitmap so that its height is 0.7 times its width.
WTS_IDEALCACHESIZEONLY
Value: 0x8000
0x00008000. Windows 8 and later. Return from the ideal cache snap size only. The returned image might be larger, but it will be pulled from the correct cache entry.
WTS_SCALEUP
Value: 0x10000
0x00010000. Windows 8 and later. If necessary, stretch the image so that the height and width fit the given size.
