Explorer Toolbar

Does anyone know of a sample application (or has some pointers) which show
how I would code and install / configure an Explorer ToolBar using C#?

Additionally, I would like to create an Internet Explorer Toolbar.

Thanks,

The links below look a lot more complete... to get started I found some
examples which got me going... but ran into an issue with my text box
trapping the Keyboard input... specifically the backspace (in IE) and the
tab key.. any tips on how to trap these keys when using .NET?

Also, does a copy of the DLL get loaded with every instance of the browser
or explorer? Logically it seems that it may... in this case if I want some
of the code to be shared between all instances of the browser and toolbar do
people typically use DDE, .NET Remoting or something else to do this?

Do you mean you wants to get the keyboard input when the textbox did not
have the focus?
If so, I think we need to use the Keyboard hook.
Here is a KB link for mouse hook, but I think it is similar to applied to
keyboard hook.

Yes, because every IE is a standone process, so the dll is loaded in every
process. Also I think the communicate with each other, we need to use the
IPC(Interprocess communication) but not code sharing. If you have a dll, it
has a function, then if the dll is loaded in multiple process, then the
function will be used in every process, becuase the code is in the dll.

Here is a link about .NET remoting, for your reference.
