Hello everyone,
I haven't found *one* article or document on this online. Perhaps I'm using
the wrong search terms. I want to create a toolbar in C# that can be added
to the start menu...much like Windows Media Player's, iTunes, and Googles
toolbars.
So if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be very much
appreciated.
Thank you,
mitch

Mitch, I want to create a toolbar in C# that can be added to the start
menu...much like Windows Media Player's, iTunes,
and Googles toolbars.
I believe you are referring to so-called "desk bands". On MSDN, there's a
topic called "Creating Custom Explorer Bars, Tool Bands, and Desk Bands",
which outlines the process. Here's a link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/?u...asp?frame=true
If you are already familiar with shell extension programming, then all you
need to do is implement the interfaces IDeskBand, IObjectWithSite and
IPersistStream. The above document also has a short example how to do it.
However, the code is C++ Win32 code, but should be quite easy to translate
into C#.
Hope this helps!
