I have created an ATL/MFC COM server meant to supply multiple ShellEx services. I first added a ContextMenu and that works. I then added an IconHandler and it doesn't. I can see its entries in the Registry but any break point I set is never hit on any of the interface methods. The ContextMenu, on the other hand, works just fine and break points are hit. Since both interfaces are located in the same DLL that means that either the registration is not using the correct values or the operating system is ignoring the IconHandler interface. ContextMenu requires an entry in the Shell Extensions -> Approved registry key. Does IconHandler also need this?
Thank You
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
