This chapter walks you through the Car sample which is included in the Toolkit, and through WPStyler, a complete sample program. The purpose is to provide detail information on how to create an object. For each sample, the different Workplace Shell instance and class methods used, along with the new methods introduced by each of them, are explained. Once objects are created, they can be installed on the Desktop in two ways: by running an installation program or batch file, or by using the Workplace Shell Class List Object Utility. As objects can also reside on the Toolbar, this chapter describes the different setup strings and methods used with the Toolbar. Finally, this chapter explains how to support printing the contents of an object from the Desktop.
