Greetings,

I have a windows forms app coded in c# for playing some music using the axWidowsMediaPplayer component. I am trying to add thumbnail toolbar buttons for playing and and pausing the player.
The buttons are being created but their events are not being fired or nothing's happening on clicking them .

Please Help I have killing myself over this for two days now with no luck. Please Help.

Here's My Code :

C#

Solution 1

I believe you need to move your code from FormShown event handler to FormLoad event handler. FormShown event is fired only with the form is first displayed and not not after that.

I just tried Form_Load event handler. Now the buttons are not even being generated.
I could mail you the project if you want for a better look.

Hang on, I have a working example for you :)

Sir please help

I doubt that your description of the problem is correct.
Note that in 64bit systems, exceptions arising in Form_Load or Form_Shown are just swallowed (yes, that's a WTF by design)! Wrap the code there in a try-catch block, and show an error message if something bad happens.
Also, for purpose of analysis, add a success message! You did not show any line of code which would cause that method to be invoked... I suspect the problem here.
Also, add some debug message / messagebox to the functions called in the Click event.

"64 bit system" is not a relevant issue here. I am about to post a working code example done in Win 8/64, compiled in VS 2013 against FrameWork 4.5, with "Any CPU" set as the target: the OP's code is solid, but there something else wrong, which his code does not show.

Just tried that... no exceptions were generated , no message boxes appeared. nothing happened.

Bernhard Hiller 7-Jan-14 3:42am

So you nowhere added a
this.Form_Shown += new EvenHandler(Form1_Shown);
Just do that e.g. in the constructor.

I added the event using the properties of the form

Here's some code that works in Windows 8/64, compiled in VS 2013 against FrameWork 4.5, with "Any CPU" set as the target.

Your Project must reference the WindowsBase, and PresentationCore dll's, in addition to the WindowsAPICodePack and WindowsAPICodePack.Shell dll's.

C#

// required !
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Shell;
using Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack.Taskbar;

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    ThumbnailToolBarButton thumbButtonNext = new ThumbnailToolBarButton(null, "button1");

    thumbButtonNext.Icon = new StockIcon(StockIconIdentifier.Shield).Icon;
    
    // for testing only: weird side-effects !
    thumbButtonNext.Click += (o, ea) => MessageBox.Show("next clicked");

    ThumbnailToolBarButton thumbButtonPrev = new ThumbnailToolBarButton(null, "button2");
    
    thumbButtonPrev.Icon = new StockIcon(StockIconIdentifier.Users).Icon;

    // for testing only: weird side-effects !
    thumbButtonPrev.Click += (o, ea) => MessageBox.Show("prev clicked");

    TaskbarManager.Instance.ThumbnailToolBars.AddButtons(Handle, thumbButtonPrev, thumbButtonNext); 
}
