I am developing a Delphi documents management application, so somehow I am giving the user some functionality similar to windows explorer.

I would like to know if there is a way to get the preview used by windows explorer. For example windows explorer creates a small thumbnail for a pdf document for example, and displays it when the user chooses to view "big icons". Is there a way to retrieve that preview?

MyTImage := GiveMePreviewForFile('C:\Test\File.pdf');
