Look in the suggestions section for my bit about Utilituy toolbar(PLEASE include it!) :D
That is the very problem. The project is open source, and meant to be compiled with as little other tools/libraries etc as possible. That is why they state C/C++, not win32 binaries. Even while in win32 it can matter if it is a win32, MFC, etc.
Might look at Lazarus. It's an open-source implementation of Delphi 6.

http://mupdf.com/ is an open Source, written in C pdf and xps viewer.

This could be a good startingpoint for an own version of %system32%\xpsrchvw.exe which also has the bonus of reading pdf documents.

already tested in ReactOS, but only with a PDF because I don't have an xps file

EDIT: XPS also works great.

No screenshot.No life :p
Btw, it opens: JPEG, TIFF, PNG.
It could be nice to have its engine pluged into our ReactOS Viewer :p

We only need the xps printer deriver to work in order to run visual studio 2008/2010 :)

Eh, I don't get it. If the goal is to have PDF/XPS support build-in then may be. But if it is only to have a viewer, then SumatraPDF, already mentioned somewhere in this thread, is a much better choice: it support more formats, such as DejaVu or CBx, have more active development and faster bug fixes.

AFAIK Sumatra is based on mupdf

the engine itself is platform independent and for every os there is a dedicated frontend.
The Windows one is written in WinAPI if I read this Code correct: http://mupdf.com/docs/browse/platform/x11/win_main.c

I think it is MFC. One thing is sure: it is Win32-only, but can also be compiled 64-bits.

Yes, and they send patches upstream, but the GUI/front-end is completely custom and Windows-oriented.

I do not know if anyone else has suggested this or a programme like it, but here goes:
WGrep
Code license GNU GPL v2
Wgrep is a windowed grep tool.

For more information, see:http://jean.daniel.michaud.googlepages.com/wgrep
It is coded in C++ (and Ros does have some C++ code in it), as are the third party libraries that it uses (Boost, XmlRpc++).

Boost (http://www.boost.org/) provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries. (It's own open source license).

XmlRpc++ (http://xmlrpcpp.sourceforge.net/) is a C++ implementation of the XML-RPC protocol. (GNU LGPL).

It is a stand alone programme, but it is released under the GPL2 license, so it could be used as a reference or a starting point for the search function which is not yet implemented in Ros.

And this is another one released under the GNU GPL v2, which may be a better choice, for the suggested use, as above.
https://code.google.com/p/grepwin/

I have down-loaded it and used it (see this post viewtopic.php?f=2&t=10972&p=104893#p104893).

UQM does not seem to work on 3.15, at least, not the HD version. (I remember 3.14 ran the non-HD version just fine, though).

A PDF (but not only) printer is more important than viewer, IMHO.
PDFlite is based on Sumatra (which is based on mupdf) and have a PDF printer too.

Virtual Image Printer driver seems cool too.

Anyway, as i always suggested, it's time to involve 3rd party open source devs for these "extensions" !

Here's results of "driver for Windows" @ sf.net:

http://sourceforge.net/directory/os%3Aw ... ort=update

I believe that many of them could be interested in a collaboration with the ROS project...
