My bho (Browser Helper Object) is a sidebar (right-sided iframe) that needs to be opened/closed by clicking the status bar icon in IE (IE8). I didn't find any informations for clickable icons. Anyone knows wich interface to use to do that. Thank you. (I'm using ATL: Active Template Library). If anyone need precisions, please ask. I'll be checking for responses every single days.

A:
Modification of IE's Status Bar by add-ons is not supported and is likely to cause reliability and performance problems across IE versions. You should consider using a Menu item instead, as Menu items ARE supported extensibility points.

Thank you for the fast answer. The thing is that i found this article: codeproject.com/KB/atl/IEStatusBarPane.aspx but he is using 'CComModule _Module;' that is deprecated. I needed the same exemple but for atl. Thanks again.

The code in that article won't work by default for Vista or higher. You would get access denied because the status bar is in a process with a higher integrity level.
