[howto] making a windows shell extension with qt open-source edition

[caesarxx]

I think it's quite good ! There are only two things i didn't unterstand at first... ( and this was my first qt project ever ! )

1. Where is the icon comming from.. the filename nevers shows anywerer exept the resource file...
2. Where is the tmp folder stuff comming from....

2.-> i found out why it wasn't working on my first try... i don't know why but if i move my project in any other directory than "c:\qt\2010.04\qt" it doesn't work ! if i qmake the projekt the make files are very different than qmake in e.g. c:\projects\. The makefile creates a tmp folder and other stuff but only if qmake is called in the qt directory....... i still can't find out why it has to be in this directroy.. is it you default dir ? where is this saved ? i looked at every file in your example project...

very very stange.... i used cmd, not qtcreator...

i keep you postet if i every find out why... a.. and one other thing...

If anyone want's to use more than one icon :


in dllmain.cpp:

QAXFACTORY_BEGIN(
"{4c52cc51-89f0-48e0-9678-474e3613d9d7}", /* Type Library ID (TLB) */
"{5c52cc51-89f0-48e0-9678-474e3613d9d7}" /* Application ID (AppID) */
)
QAXCLASS(SOSyncedBinder)
QAXCLASS(SOUnsyncedBinder)
QAXFACTORY_END()



and in your class header file for each binded class:

class SOSyncedBinder : public QObject, public QAxBindable {

Q_CLASSINFO("ClassID", "{1955991f-0df0-4563-8a0b-624a227605d6}")
Q_CLASSINFO("InterfaceID", "{2955991f-0df0-4563-8a0b-624a227605d6}")
Q_CLASSINFO("EventsID", "{3955991f-0df0-4563-8a0b-624a227605d6}")
