File Content Extraction 26.1
Viewing SDK Programming Guide

# VAPIMWP_VIEW_GETPREVIEWPANE

Determines whether the preview pane is being used. The preview pane is only used to display a subfile in a container file. When it is enabled, the viewing area is divided into two panes: one pane displays the contents of the container file, the other displays the contents of the selected subfile. For more information, see VAPIMWP_VIEW_SETPREVIEWPANE . This is a parameter of the `VAPIM_VIEW` message.

## Syntax

    #include <kvvapi.h>
    SendMessage(hWndVAPI, VAPIM_VIEW, VAPIMWP_VIEW_GETPREVIEWPANE,
               (LPARAM) (BOOL*) lpbPreviewPane );

## Arguments

Argument | Description
--- | ---
`hWndVAPI` | The handle of the VAPI window.
`lpbPreviewPane` | A pointer to a flag that returns `TRUE` or `FALSE`, depending on whether the preview pane was returned. Only container files use the preview pane.

## Returns

- `SendMessage()` returns `TRUE` if the call succeeds, in which case `lpbPreviewPane` returns `TRUE` or `FALSE`.
- `SendMessage()` returns `FALSE` if the call fails (for example, if there are invalid arguments or if no document is open), in which case `lpbPreviewPane` is undefined.
