# ThumbnailListItem Class
 
This class represents items of the [ThumbnailListView](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_WinControls_ThumbnailListView.htm.md) control based on file system objects.
 
**Namespace:** [Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/N_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_WinControls.htm.md)
 **Assembly:** Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.WinControls.dll)
 
## Syntax
  
```
Public Class ThumbnailListItem _Inherits ListItem _Implements IQueueItem, ICloneable
```
 
```csharp
public class ThumbnailListItem : ListItem, IQueueItem, ICloneable
```
 
## Remarks
  
This class is a standard implementation of the [IListItem](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_WinControls_IListItem.htm.md) interface. It represents file system items such as files, folders, drives, digital cameras, removable media, etc. You can create an item of this class either on path string or a [Pidl](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_WinControls_Pidl.htm.md) object. If the item is a file of format supported by Graphics Mill for .NET, the thumbnail is displayed. Otherwise standard icon is used instead of the thumbnail.
 
To display files in this control, just create instances of this class and pass to the [Items](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/P_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_WinControls_ThumbnailListView_Items.htm.md) collection of the necessary [ThumbnailListView](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/T_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_WinControls_ThumbnailListView.htm.md) control. Note, you cannot pass one item to several controls. If you need to display the same file in two or more controls, use the method [Clone()](https://www.graphicsmill.com/docs/gm5/M_Aurigma_GraphicsMill_WinControls_ThumbnailListItem_Clone.htm.md) to get a copy of the object.
