question for Microsoft Office File Properties

Hi
My question:
I have created my custom file format. And i set “Summary information” stream and “Document information” stream to my file. Then in Microsoft Explorer on File Properties/Summary tab shows only Title, Subject, Category, Keywords, Comments, Source, author, Revision Number property. But if i change file extension (for instance) to “.doc” or “.ppt”, File Properties/Summary tab shows all properities such as word count and pages.
How it should be made, so File Properties/Summary tab to show all propeties for my file extensions

    This doesn't seem to be VSTO-related

    In any case, Office properties are only available to Office documents, saved in the proprietary file format (or, in some cases, the application's XML vocabulary). You can't use them in your own file formats. If you have questions about exposing properties in your own file formats, you should pursue the question in a group for the programming language in which you're working.

    My question was moved to VCTO. I want Microsoft windows explorer to show all properties on File Properties/Summary tab. And i ask what i do explorer show properties on my file format extension That's all. What is the problem Why explorer showed properties only for Office file.
    When i rename (myfile. -> myfile.doc) and explorer show all properties. But explorer did not showed all properties on myfile.

    Hi Simeon

    From which forum was your question moved Whoever moved it apparently doesn't know what VSTO is, and I'd like to clarify matters at the Moderator level :-)

    VSTO = Visual Studio Tools for Office. This is a way to integrate managed code into an Office document. It has nothing to do with how Office products interact with Windows, or how Windows deals with Office properties.

    Your best bet for getting help might be in a group devoted to WINDOWS, itself. I'm guessing that there's something involved with the Registry for the file extensions that allows Windows to access/expose the Office properties.
