Questions about the new Windows 7 support for custom patterns have come up a few times in this forum. I took some time over the past few months and created a series of blog posts and some sample code to demonstrate this.
The blog posts start here:

To make the samples more interesting, I wrote them in C#, which forced me to write a bunch of interop code -- this is also available as part of the sample.
If you have a chance to try this out, I would be happy to get feedback on it.
Thanks,
Michael
