How to install an extention in IE via code

Hello All,

I am new to working with browser extentions. Can someone give me a good overview of how this is accomplished in Internet Explorer, and the steps needed and code examples of how to acheive this programmaticaly.

Thank You

if you are talking about real broser extensions:

- http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...87(VS.85).aspx
Tho this is not js related question then.

If it's IE behavior you are talking it's done via css normally:

Code:

---

body {behavior:url(styles/csshover2.htc);}
//where csshover2.htc is a js file overriding IE behavior for certain events

---

HI XEEL,

Thank you for your reply. I am currently investigating the information on the links that you sent me. Previously to this post I found some information related to this explaining the reg keys that need to be added and edited accordingly for the extention, I had\ve done this manualy already, and thanks to your info was able to get the right CLSID key from the msdn site. I have added the keys and values appropriately, but since I am brand new to doing this and this is actualy the first time I am attempting this, what is needed after the reg key additions, just a shutdowdown of IE and I should see the new item added in the toolbar, or a complete reboot. I have already reboted, just not sure what needs to be done now to see the new icon that I added reg keys for in IE. It is my understanding that IE should pick up the entries from the registry and display the ICON. This is just a testing of this, the ultimate goal is to be able to do the same thing programatically afterwards.

Once again, Thank You

Hi Xeel,

I found an example to do it manualy that worked using local Group Policy.

When I checked the registry, the policy did basicaly the same thing with the key entries under HKEY_CURRENT_USER. When I did it manualy before I used HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE where the documentation said that it work in both cases, as needed.

Now I would like to accomplish this task programaticaly, can I use VB script to do this, and how would I go about doing it.

Thank You

It's IE, it's Windows, VB should be good

Thanks Xeel,

You rock dude!
