Add an Menu to IE6

Hi everybody.

I want to add a new Menu to IE6. I'll use C# and the .NET
Framework 1.1 to develop it, but my problem is leck of
knowledge concerning IE6 programming. Which Object Model
(classes) could be used to realize something that? Which
SDK is needed or are the classes already there?
To the point: What's the correct tactic to develop that?

Regards,
Mario Schymura

re: Add an Menu to IE6

Hi Mario,

These additional menus are known as "bands" and are actually ActiveX
components. From what I remember reading the documentation on bands, it will
be a real challenge to implement them in managed code. Try to do search in
MSDN on bands and I hope you should find some useful info.

Mario, here's a project using C++ and WTL. I don't know of anything yet out
there that does this with C#.

Hope this helps.
