Download Manager Help Needed

[dreamvb]

Hi experts I am in the design of building a download manager little like get-right well ok not as that advanced yet anyway and maybe never but.

well at the moment the program works fine but I want to add a little function so that when the user clicks on a link in internet explorer pointing to a zip file or a exe file I whoule like it so it opens up my program then downloads the file.

I know how to download the file I am only looking for a way so that the file is displayed in a text box

I just want to do something like what get right does when it give you the option to download with there program

any ideas whould help me a lot

Thanks,

Well, I've not done this, and I'm not really quite sure how I'd do it if I needed to, but you said ANY ideas would help. I know if you want your app to be in the system tray, you have to have a form that is constantly running which does nothing, but watch for mouse clicks. I imagine you can get the hwnd for the window that was clicked and find out the title of the window, and if the title says microsoft internet explorer in it, or netscape, then thats half the battle. Next you'd have to know what was clicked in that window, and I really don't know how that'd work out. I'd start looking at detecting mouse clicks outside of your app, and work from there. This could be alllll wrong, but I figured I'd say somthing, who knows if it will help.
