I am developing a toolbar for IE6. I have referenced the sample project
provided at http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/dotnetbandobjects.asp and the
msdn article "Creating Custom Explorer Bars, Tool Bands, and Desk Bands". I
have followed the instructions and installed the samplebar.dll and the
bandobjectslib.dll into the GAC using gacutil as well as performed a regasm
on the samplebar.dll. After doing these things I do see the menu items under
View->Toolbars and under all the other locations. My problem is that after
clicking the toolbar one and the deskband nothing happens. When clicking the
one under "explorer bar" I get a blank horizontal band at the bottom. These
bands should include a button according to the sample and from what I can
determine from the code. I have reviewed posts on codeproject and see that
one other person has experienced this issue but has yet to receive a
response. I have confirmed that the registry entries match what is expected
also. Any help such as debugging tips for these types of applications would
be most helpful. Below is my system and compiler info.
