Hi,
I would like to start a new VC++ project that can create a toolbar button for Internet Explorer in the form of DLL.
Yes, I know there are complete source code example at Code Project. But the example are already created/generated by the original developer. So I lack the knowledge on how actually to start a new project like that. Which wizard to select and so on.
Please guide me.
Writing Internet Explorer toolbars and extensions is no easy task. For starters, it requires some intimate knowledge of Component Object Model (COM), some ATL, and probably a bit of WTL as well. You will at least need to understand C++ and COM pretty well before you can even begin to understand the Internet Explorer stuff. And COM, ATL, and WTL are not mainstream topics anymore. So you won't find many resources to help you.
If you're having difficulty knowing what buttons to click in the IDE, it's probably safe to say that it's too early for you to take on a project like the.
