Hi,
I made a small explorer toolband application (.dll) and was able to run
it successfully on a windows XP installation (i.e. the toolband appeared
under the View->toolbars, and clicking the new toolbar worked). However,
I installed windows XP on another machine and copied my code across to
the new computer. The project compiles fine and the toolbar name also
appears under the explorer view->toolbar menu. However, clicking the
toolbar doesn't work. Nothing appears. I'm not sure what the problem is
since there are no compile time errors and the toolbar has been
successfully registered in the registry.
I should mention here that for the project I downloaded a BandObject
library made by some developer, that I referenced from my project. The
sample project had some 'strong named' file and so I took the project as
a 'template' and built my toolbar on top of that. I even tried to run
the same project on a freshly installed windows 2000 machine and that
doesn't work either. I see nothing when I select the toolbar. Am I
missing out something here? Does this have something to do with assembly
signing (something I don't quite understand too well).
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
