Sidebar for the internet explorer

Hello All,

I need to develop a VB application which will add a custom explorer side bar in the current opened instances of internet explorer. And this custom explorer bar should show the url depends on the URL of the main window(Address bar).

Can any body help me here to implement this .


Thanks

Welcome to the forums!

Have you started this yet? Do you need help with a specific part of the application? We can't make the whole application for you, but we can help you if you get stuck at a specific point. What have you managed so far? :)

Thanks for your reply.

I have started the work. Let me explain what i have done.

I have added a side bar by adding into a registry using the following.

In my vb program I am using SHDocVw.InternetExplorer OLE control and at the event of IEObj_BeforeNavigate2 I am opening the side bar....Now the problem is I am not able to change the html page in the sidebar dynamically.

Thanks and Regards
Rohit

So the sidebar will have a browser control in it? To show a page?

So at the moment you have already put the sidebar and the problem is just navigating the control?

Yes I have added a side bar with a default URL..using the following

Now I need to change the url of the sidebar according to the url on the address bar.

I’d like a Visual Basic 6 app that shows a sidebar in Internet Explorer when a user does a search on Google, Yahoo, or MSN. The sidebar should show a results page for the users search term. For example, if a user searches for “autos” the sidebar would load the URL “http://testdomain.com//?s=autos”


Thanks

The app should be compatible with IE6 and IE7.


I can send you the screenshot of what i would like..i
