Is there a GetThumbnailImage method for the Image object?
From looking at the help files, it seems as though there is such a method. However, it doesn't show up as a method under the image object.... Anyone know?

GetThumbnailImage belongs to VB.NET's Image object, not VB 6 I'm afraid.

You'll have to do it yourself. There are a variety of ways, the simplest being the ImageList control

strongm,

Thanks. The property is not of use to me then (unfortunately).

Currently, I'm using the ImageList control along with ListView to display my thumbnails. It loads and displays...only problem is ...the images are of very poor quality. So, I'm looking for another option that will compress my bitmaps into smaller images but of fair quality.

The image control has the stretch property which is satisfactory. However I need to display several images at once...

I'm taking a look into the StretchBlt API.

Any guidance would be appreciated...
This seems like a simple thing...but it's beating on me...

If you are thinking of using StretchBlt I'd suggest that you also have a look at SetStretchBltMethod, which gives you a certain amount of choice on how the stretching is done.
