@ -49,6 +49,22 @@ The enumeration of network components (protocols, client, transport) is done by
function. When a user accepts changes, it calls INetCfg::Apply or when it aborts the changes INetCfg::Cancel.
=== Known Issues ===
* The notification icons are only added once IShellFolder of netshell is created for the first time
* Status changes of an adapter are not automatically updated because the information is cached
* There seems to be an icon problem which makes icon blink in the status dialog
=== Testing in windows ===
Unfortunately in windows the CLSID_ConnectionManager class is implemented in the netman
service and netshell contains the rpc proxy stubs for it. This means that until we are able to
reimplement these stubs alongside all its unimplemented interfaces and objects, we can't replace
the system netshell with ours (INetConnectionManager and IEnumNetConnection are only the tip
of the iceberg).
However it is perfectly fine if one copies our netshell in a different folder and change the
registry settings to make it handle CLSID_ConnectionFolder, CLSID_LanConnectionUi and CLSID_ConnectionTray.
When doing so there are actually two options about how to test. One is leaving #define USE_CUSTOM_CONMGR 1
as is and the other is setting is to 0. What this does is that when 0, the connections will be enumerated
in the shell folder and the tray using the system's INetConnectionManager (which resides in the system's
netman service and is accessible through the system's netshell.dll). This allows us to implement and
test our three components against the correct implementation of INetConnectionManager.
The other option is setting USE_CUSTOM_CONMGR to 0 which will make the shell folder and the tray
enumerate connections with our connection manager effectively testing it in windows as well.
