Extracting Icon/Thumbnail for a file - windows

I want to extract the Icon/Thumbnail (different size) of a file from
windows shell on my project. I am able to extract the thumbnail with
out any issue, but the problem came when working with files that don't
have thumbnail view. The issue is I am not able to get the bitmap as
the windows explorer shows. I am getting a black color where explorer
is showing a nice gray shadow.
I have uploaded
1. The image I got for an html file,
2. The image as shown by windows explorer,
3. The sample source code

Any help here is appreciated.

The problem is how you save it. To have gradient alpha channel you need to save it as a PNG.

How to get the image path of an image in MS Access 2016?

I have a MS Access 2013 developed application. When it is opened using MS Access 2016, the jpg images are not showing.
I have seen many articles in net that it is a bug and it shows only bmp images.
My issue is I do not know the path of the JPG image which is supposed be to showed in Application.
In property Sheet window of image,in Picture field, I can see only
"imagename.jpg"
. Not the path from it is loaded.
Is there any way to find the image path from this?
note: I am new to MS Access. Any help is appreciated. thanks in advance
You can't. The picture is embedded, and the Picture property is just informative.
Even if you set it to the full path of the picture file, only the filename is left back, when the form is saved.

Siebel open UI IP16 - loading image customization

Is there a way I can customize (replace with another GIF image) the loading image in Siebel Open UI in IP16 version? The current loading image is an red colored, oval shaped, oracle provided one, but i do not find the corresponding image in images folder. Any leads?
The animated icon may be stored in css files.
Try to search in your css files for something like
.siebui-mask-outer
timer
It may not be an actual gif but an css transformation.
(btw. You can run your Chrome Developer tool and examine the source of the icon)
The standard GIF file must be in public/enu folder (for english application) on the web server. On your local installation, it will be in C:\Siebel81\16.0.0.0.0\Client\PUBLIC\IMAGES\
There are multiple gif files there used for different applications.

There is no way to Show a PDF file inside a static control.
There are several ActiveX Controls that can show a PDF file. Also Adobe ships and AcroPdf ActiveX file that is free to use.
Here is a sample
If you just want to Show formatted data you can use an RTF-Control

Is there any way to export a Google Visualization org chart as an image?

Is there anyway to have an export function to export the Google Visualization organizational chart as an image? I want this as a feature of my website, so people can click a button or a link and have it save as an image or a pdf file
Make a screen-shot of the browser. There are multiples tools out there to do this. We used this: http://code.google.com/p/speak-lib/source/browse/#svn/trunk/WebShot%3Fstate%3Dclosed
It works fine. We generate previews of design changes that way.
Try http://phantomjs.org/ you can write script to cut your web page into PNG images of some fixed size and then assemble them into PDF.
You can export the SVG code and send it to a server to convert it to an image. This is a scalable and easy solution. Answer details here: Convert Google Geochart to image (JPEG, PNG, etc.) or PDF in the browser
Use chart.getImageURI() it gives the image location

Interface Builder doesn't show some of my resource images

I have almost 20 images in PNG format added to my current project on Xcode (under the proper group, Resources). Unfortunately, library window's Media tab doesn't show some of them. And if I create an UIImageView and set one of these invisible images from code, nothing shows up. I also tried from IB with adding a UIImageView and set its source image.
Is this problem a image format related issue or is there a tiny detail I'm missing.
What log says:
Could not load the "07_clock_icon.png" image referenced from a nib in the bundle
The solution to this is a bit silly, but it definitely works:
Close XCode and the Interface Builder. Now, instead of opening XCode then opening the project, navigate to the project in Finder and double click on the project. When you open your xib file the blue file not found images will flash up, then be replaced with the correct images and the dropdown will show all your images in the Inspector.
Heyy! I figured it out. It's a refreshing bug. So just copy and replace those images that did not load into your project folder, and then hold Shift Command K (to clean your project). After Clean Up it should work perfectly! Enjoy!
If you dragged the images from the Finder into the Resources folder in XCode the images should show up in IB as well. At least it does so in my setup.
Maybe the images are 8-bit PNG images. I believe Cocoa requires them to be 24-bit because of the alpha transparency. PNG 8-bit doesn't support the alpha channel, as it's more like a GIF image.
But from the error you posted It seems IB couldn't find the resource at all. Which is understandable if it doesn't load the resources from XCode in its library.
Assuming you selected the option to let XCode copy the files into your project and neither XCode nor the Finder complain when you make the copy... I wonder if there might be some file corruption? Maybe try recreating them or opening and resaving them from another graphics application (or even Preview.app).
btw- 8-bit PNGs have worked fine for me.
Same problem was encountered by me. The problem is with the image. The image has been some how corrupted.Try to open the image in photoshop and you will see it doesn't open with photoshop.
I solved the problem by changing the image format to PNG-24 and everything works fine for me.
Hope this will solve your issue.
