You might be interested in the two existing CodeProject toolbars: Mike Dunn's The Code Project Search Bar[^] (IE) Lowell Heddings' Firefox Code Project Search Bar[^] ---- You're right. These facts that you've laid out totally contradict the wild ramblings that I pulled off the back of cornflakes packets.

Bhavesh Vaghela wrote: Defining and calling parameterizing constructor In COM you don't have a "constructor", you have a class factory that creates the instance which is created and called when the client calls ::CoCreateInstance(...). Technically you can have different constructors and edit the class factory to make use of them, but there's really no point. You should use persistent storage and monikers instead to let the server know how it should initialize itself.
