Diodia ToolbarCreator
How to create a new Internet Explorer toolbar:
1) Start
ToolbarCreator.
2) Enter the name of
the new toolbar in the Toolbar name field. This is the name that the Internet
Explorer will display in the View->Toolbars menu.
3) Change the short name, if you don't like the default. The short name is used
internally in variable and function names and in file names. Spaces are not
allowed in the short name.
4) Enter a company name for the registry. By default the toolbar stores data
(i.e. the button layout) in the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\<company
name>\<toolbar name>.
5) Select a location on the hard disk for the Visual Studio projects.
6) Click Create Toolbar. A Visual Studio project is created in the selected
directory:
| <toolbar short name>.vcproj | (Visual Studio 2005 project) |
| <toolbar short name>.sln | (Visual Studio 2005 solution) |
7) Select which project to open:
8) Build the project and the toolbar is ready. Visual Studio performs the registration during the build, so just open the Internet Explorer and the new toolbar should be visible right away:
9) Use
the programming guide to change the appearance and implement the
functionality of the toolbar.
Programming Guide:
The programming guide is available as a Microsoft Word document, and as HTML.
