Limiting the Property Sheet Display

The property sheet should display only on the relevant application filter.

To limit the property sheet display

1. Select a unique attribute name for the application filter; for example, its GUID.
2. Add the directory of the file Msfpccom.dll (SDK installation root\bin) to the include path.
3. In Stdafx.h add the following #import statement:

   #import "msfpccom.dll" named_guids
   

   The #import directive is used to incorporate information from a type library. The content of the type library is converted into C++ classes, mostly describing the COM interfaces.

4. In the the .cpp file where your snap-in is defined, add the if statement in the following example code to this method and change the GUID to the GUID of your application filter:

   HRESULT CFilterSnapInExtData::CreatePropertyPages(LPPROPERTYSHEETCALLBACK lpProvider,
   	long handle, 
   	IUnknown* pUnk,
   	DATA_OBJECT_TYPES type)
   {
   	FPCLib::IFPCSnapinNodePtr spiFPCSnapinNode(m_pDataObject);
    
   	FPCLib::IFPCApplicationFilterPtr spiApplicationFilter(spiFPCSnapinNode->CurrentObject);
   
   	_bstr_t bstrGUID(spiApplicationFilter->GetGuid());
    
   	// if (type == CCT_SCOPE || type == CCT_RESULT) 
   	if (bstrGUID == _bstr_t("{7CCF6FF0-D995-4da1-B452-4228047B2D1D}"))  // Filter GUID
   	{
   		CFilterSnapInPage* pPage = new CFilterSnapInPage(handle, true, _T("FilterSnapIn"));
   		lpProvider->AddPage(pPage->Create());
   
   		// The second parameter to the property page class constructor
   		// should be true for only one page.
    
   		// TODO : Add code here to add additional pages
   		return S_OK;
   }
   	return E_UNEXPECTED;
   }
   

5. Build.
6. Test. Run ISA Server Management. Notice that the property sheet appears only on the appropriate filter.
