Browser extensions

Did any body try sample? MSDN Library - April 2000/Platform SDK/User Interface Services/Windows Shell/Shell Prigrammers Guide/Samples/Band Objects Is there any way to download this? I have to provide exact same functionality in my project. regards, Mahesh

I have written my own browser band extensions and I believe I looked at the sample you reference. Of particular use is the article "Creating Custom Explorer Bars, Tool Bands, and Desk Bands". Search MSDN for "Explorer Band" to locate this. In my installation the search produces three results... Good Luck!

I used the online version of MSDN: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp There it gives you the html equivalent of all the code in the sample. You can just copy and paste it into your project. Cheers, Frank

Thanks Frank, I tried it. But i got compilation errors. Can you send me running version of code if you still have it?

Frank Deo

I got build errors too. I dont have the whole platform SDK installed though. Maybe thats it. Frank

It seems everyone has to do it the hardway everytime all the time. I've done a dozen+ band objects, I did so many that I got fed up of retyping the code all the time for the COM object. So... A couple months ago I wrote an ATL wizard that generates the deskband framework for you, all you need to do is change the registration code and the UI. I also list in my articles discussion column other sources of information. Look for it on CodeProject @ Creating DeskBands with an ATL Object Wizard Making development easier, -Erik
