IVMDisplay::Thumbnail property
[Windows Virtual PC is no longer available for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use the Hyper-V WMI provider (V2).]
Retrieves an array of pixels representing a thumbnail image of the virtual machine's screen.
This property is read-only.
Syntax
HRESULT get_Thumbnail(
[out, retval] VARIANT *thumbnailImage
);
Property value
A variant of type VT_ARRAY | VT_VARIANT containing entries of type VT_UI4, one for each pixel in the thumbnail.
Error codes

|---|---|
|
The operation was successful. |
|
The parameter is NULL. |
|

Remarks
This interface returns the thumbnail less efficiently than the _GenerateThumbnail method, but is usable from scripting clients. The thumbnail is always 64 pixels wide by 48 pixels high. Each pixel is 32 bits. The first 64 elements in the array is the first row of pixels in the thumbnail, the next 64 elements is the second row, and so on.
