      Let's consider the picture being rendered in the Picture Viewer.
      Is it possible to get access to it, while it is still being rendered?

        Hi Rui,

        Do you want to hook to the current rendering process or not?

        If not, you can use RenderDocument() in order to make the render, so you have control over everything, the frame and the final bitmap is up to you to expose it in the picture viewer or not.
        In other cases I'm afraid is something not possible.

        Cheers,
        Maxime

          What I would like to have access to, is the frame currently being rendered in the Picture Viewer, at any stage of the render.

            Hi Rui Batista,

            I'm afraid is something not possible even in C++. 
            Only completed picture can be retrieved from the picture viewer in some situation.

            But you can be sure it's something we consider for future versions.

            Cheers,
            Maxime
