What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Register the DLL 2. Right click on the toolbar and enable Toolbars -> 'KvasdoPager'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect the toolbar to appear immediately but see this message instead:

The KvasdoPager toolbar isn't compatible with this version of Windows If you continue, the toolbar might appear incorrectly. To check for an updated version, go to the software publisher's website.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.4.3a on Windows 7

To remove this warning the deskband must implement IDeskBand2. I'm attaching a patch that does just that.

I think the warning should be removed when other Windows 7 issues get fixed.

I first found out about IDeskBand2 on this site: http://www.ureader.com/msg/16601440.aspx

I should probably add that IDeskBand2 inherits from IDeskBand and this doesn't break Windows XP compatibility.

What versions of VC can compile the pager with this change? I've tried VC2005 & VC2008 and neither had definitions of IDeskBand2, have I missed something or do you need the latest version of VC?

IDeskBand2 is defined in Shobjidl.h in recent Windows SDKs.

The latest SDK integrates with VC2005, VC2008 and VC2010. It is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6b6c21d2-2006-4afa-9702-529fa782d63b&displaylang=en

IDeskband2 won't be available unless you target Windows Vista so make sure that you:

define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0600

The patch I posted above already set this to 0x0601

To save you the trouble of installing a complete SDK I'm also attaching a small include file defining IDeskBand2.

Alexandre - I have a working IDeskBand2 version now, thanks for your help.

For anyone else out there building the pager do not use SDK v6.0A (which does have IDeskBand2 defined) on Win7, the band crashes Explorer.

I'm currently looking into the drawing issue on XP and resizing/repositioning problems on the Taskbar.

That's odd. Do you know the cause of the crash?

patch is applied closing the issue
