Hi, I saw your posting about APP(Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol). I'm in same situation. I have a sample on MSDN but I can't make it "RUN" from VC++ 6.0. It looks working in normal situation, but I can't trace the codes in VC++. I hope to get advice to trace APP sample or similar sample in VC++. I'm working in IE 5.5, Windows 2000 with sp1, VS with sp4. Thanks in advance. Regards, Ryan:)

Is there any way I can access Explorer Bar window from HTML? For example, we can access IE's Search window or main window using _Search or _main. Can i give my Explorer bar a name like that??? Any ideas?? regards Mahesh

The web search assistant is a Deskband object that is registered under IE. You can create your own by implementing a COM object that supports IDeskband and a few other interfaces, or you can use the wizard I created under the ATL section of CodeProject for creating Deskbands. Let me know if you have any development questions, I have done quite a few of these.

Dear Mahesh, There are events that the WebBrowser control emits, which you can handle by implementing the DWebBrowserEvents2 dispatch interface in your program (or something, I forget :) ). The event OnBeforeNavigate or OnBeforeNavigate2 (I forget again :) ) are called or fired after the Navigate() method is called but before navigation begins. It is passed parameters like the URL, do we want to cancel, so forth. What I would do is to put new child-window-creation code in there, and pass the URL to the new window, which itself could contain a WebBrowser control. Cheers, Brian Hart :)

thanks. I read this article in MSDN and thought that I dont have latest version of comcat.dll but i installed SP5 on my machine.

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
