I've been creating snapins with the new MMC 3.0 classes and C#. I can't seem to find any examples of how to get rid of the "Console Root" node when creating the *.msc files. I looked through the examples in the SDK, but I can't seem to find anything for this. I have seen other snapins that do what I want, but I can't tell what version o...
I am developing a MMC 3.0 snap-in. I have custom actions to be displayed in the right had side MMC action pane, which I have done using ParentFormView.SelectionData.ActionsPaneItems.Add(CustomAction) Things are working fine so far. My problem is - Windows by default also paints actions such as 'View', 'New window from here', 'Help'...

I want to get the size and free space of a phone's memory card via USB connection from a PC. I use PC suite connection. This isn't a mobile application; it's a desktop application.

I'm trying to give users at my helpdesk the ability to view and edit Exchange ExtensionAttributes (specifically 2 and 14). Ideally, I would do this by adding a tab in the "Active Directory Users and Computers" mmc snap-in that would have the information on there. I know it's possible to add tabs - the acctinfo.dll in the resource kit do...
What are the benefits of developing MMC snap-ins instead of traditional GUI apps? AFAIK the MMC snap-ins can be loaded remotely to control some server applications but I have never dived deep in this approach. What are the pros and cons of MMC snap-in approach over traditional Win Forms (or WPF) GUI applications? And btw lately PowerShe...
Does anyone know good current (.Net 2.0 3.0 or 3.5) basic documentation, books or urls that document the basics of how to program this in VB.Net or C#. Thanks Roy Cotton ...
I have the adminpak.msi installed so that I can use the Remote Desktop MMC to connect to all of my servers. As I add a server, it goes to the bottom of the list of available servers. I can't find out how to re-order them into more logical groupings, or at least alphabetical. Any ideas? ...
Hi all, I am developing a MMC 3.0 snap-in using C#. I would like my snap-in to automatically localize itself according to the current language, i.e. on a Spanish OS, the snap-in should display in Spanish and should use a Spanish help file. Since my snap-in is a .NET application, GUI localisation is no problem. However, I am having trou...
I have an MMC application written in Unamanged C++. It has the following orginization: MMC Plugin (Primary Snap-in) - Snapin A (Extension Snap-in) - Snapin B (Extension Snap-in) - Snapin C (Extension Snap-in) - Snapin 1 (Extension Snap-in) - Snapin 2 (Extension Snap-in) - Snapin 3 (Extension Snap-in) I would like to change...
If I have a snapin that extends Microsoft.ManagementConsole.Advanced.NamespaceExtension, is there anyway I can make this snapin contain some legacy C++ snapins? ...
Anyway I can reorder the extension snapins of an MMC 3.0 snapin? I have two snapins one being 3.0 and one being 2.0. The 3.0 snapin always appears before the 2.0 becuase in the registry it appears like "FX:{GUID}" where the 2.0 appears as "{GUID}" and I belive it shows the snapins alphbetically based on guid. ...
Hey All, I am currently developing an MMC snap-in but have hit a big snag - it's done using the .Net 4.0 framework; and MMC is loading a previous version of the runtime. Using an older version of the runtime isn't really an option, as the entire project is written for 4.0 (so far 5000 LOC); this is merely a management front-end (fancy ...
Is there a way to host an MMC snapin in an application? Specifically, we have an "Enterprise Management Application" that we use to manage our applications / services, and we want to add certain functionality to this utility that is already implemented as MMC snapins. It would be great if we could just host these configured snapins in ...
Are there an wizard or templates in delphi 2009 to write a MMC console ? EDIT: Colin Wilson components look great thanks. ...
I work on a legacy MMC application and one thing I have noticed is that once in awhile when closing the MMC, an error will be reported. "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in. It is recommended that you shut down and restart MMC". How can I debug this? The error is not displayd until you close the console and if you try to attach a de...
Looking through our MMC snap-in code I can't get one concept. We have a tree of different class items inserted into MMC snap-in root node and only two of them register themselves as extensions. These two classes are nothing special compared to any other classes we use to represent the MMC tree items. Yet only these two register themselve...
I'd like to prevent my window from being updated until I finish receiving data from the server and render it. Can I hook on the WM_PAINT event, or better still call some Win32API method to prevent the window from being updated and unfreeze it later? More info: In the context of an MMC snapin written in C#, our application suffers from a...
When a Control is shown in a TabControl, it can set the UseVisualStyleBackColor property of the TabPage to true in order to show properly in the tab control rather than just a solid colour fill. However, when a Control is shown in the management console as part of a PropertyPage, its parent is a PropertyPageContainerControl rather than ...
