=== 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.
