Calling an executable from Internet Explorer as a script? [modified]
-
Hi all, I am not too sure where to post my question, so I'll just put it here and hope that somebody will help me. Honestly, I've reached a deadend after searching ALOT. I'll greatly appreciate any help or indication. The problem: In Internet Explorer you can right-click on a page and hit "Export to Microsoft Excel". This command is set in the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Export to Microsoft Excel) to call Excel with "EXCEL.EXE/3000". The purpose: I would like to develop a executable with simular functionality: the ability to be called from the internet explorer. The question: What is the technology that excel is using? Is it a COM object implementing an interface? How do I do that in .NET? And what on earth is that "/3000" parameter?!? I've been looking for an answer for quite some time now. Please help.

Given the big red text that says "Do not post programming questions (use the programming forums for that)" why did you think posting it here would be a good idea? Your post in the C# forum was a better choice.

Yeap! There is an article there called "Adding Entries to the Standard Context Menu", which is relevant with the case, but unfortunately it doesn't mention anything about how the executable should be made (i.e. what interfaces should implement, how they are exposed etc). Note that the whole thing works if I set the right-click to call a javascript htm page, but not if I call an executable. ..and I am very curious to find what this "\3000" param is..

I apologize for this. I saw the text only after I hit the "send" button (too overwhelmed with the issue I guess X| ) Strange enough, though, I got an answer from this thread instead of the "C#" one!

Maybe, but you've irritated people in the process.
