    Toolbar for browser. Any help?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to write a toolbar for IE like the one given by google, yahoo etc...
    Not for spyware purposes, but I want to learn how to do this.

    While searching this forum, found a thread which explains something in asp.net, but I'm looking for a way to do this with VB6.

    Could someone please point me in the right direction, some vb6 code, some tutorial may be?
    And finally, how will I add this toolbar to IE?

    Thank you
    Thank you

    Re: Toolbar for browser. Any help?

    I found this msdn page . I'm really not sure if I should, or "can" mess with those...

    I make a horizontal bar in vb, (A form with 1 button, without borders, make an exe of it). Will that serve as the toolbar?
    And do you know of any open source program that can add this vb exe as the explorer bar as explained on that msdn page?

    Or am I completely missing the point here...
    Thank you

    If you want something that is inserted into the toolbar of IE then no, that not what they are doing. What they are doing is linking a exe to a button. The exe will open just like any other program but not in IE.
