Register the property page component

In order for the Chat Service Manager to instantiate the property page control, the component that implements the property pages must be registered on the computer that is used to administer the chat service. If your extension supports property pages internally, it will already be registered on the chat server. If you have created a separate component for property pages, you will need to register it as well.

Since the chat service can be administered remotely, the property pages may need to be installed on a computer other than the one running the chat service.

Important: Chat server extensions should never issue any calls that cause user interface to be displayed (other than their property pages). Doing so causes the chat server to freeze until the user interface is closed by a user. However, since the chat server is running as a service, the user interface will be hidden and cannot be canceled.
