Question

I’m writing a .net (3.0) program using Visual C++,
when running the program on the Windows 7 jump list it only displays “XXX.exe” I want it to display the name of my application, how could I do that?

Answer 1

You need to get the IPropertyStore interface. This CodeProject example demonstrates creating and setting a Jump List (with its title).

CComQIPtr<IPropertyStore> pPropStore = pLink;
PROPVARIANT pv;

  InitPropVariantFromString ( L"Red Text", &pv );

  // Set the title property.
  pPropStore->SetValue ( PKEY_Title, pv );
  PropVariantClear ( &pv );

  // Save the changes we made to the property store
  pPropStore->Commit();
