I have a program in XForms that have a series of pixmaps that scroll
sideways. This is similar to what is done with some printer page setup
dialogs where the paper size is selected.

I am using small pixmaps but the technique may still work out for you. Let
me know if you're interested.

BTW, what kind of camera are you talking about. I have a KODAK DSC210 and I
have the API and such. I'm writing a program to download the images from the
camera as soon as I have the time.
