Ok I have been looking and looking and I cant find what Im looking
for.

I need to be able to add a button to IE , When that button is fired it
send the URL that is in the Address bar to a seperate application that
will scrape about 10 fields and insert them into an access table, now
the scraping portion is no problem.

But I cannot for the LIFE of me see ANYWHERE about passing the URL to
another application.

I saw this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/browser/ext/tutorials/button.asp

Is this the best way to add a button ?
How is this different from a sperate toolbar, I think the toolbar
route would be better as I hope to add more features later.

Am I missing something here ?
I would really appreciate any links or refrences.

Arrrgggghhh this is driving me nutso, I have another application thats
written in jython that sort of does this (from its own really lame
browser window) but well it really sucks.

Hi Chris,

Do you really mean to invoke IE with an extra button let us say beside the
history button or do you want to use a button in a webform application to
archieve what you want to do?

I think that for the first problem VB.net would not be my first choose to
go.

Worry no more my friend,

I was looking for this information a while ago and luckily I found this
site. I just hope not too many people see this or we will see a "Browser
Toolbar Flooding" soon.... he he

This guy is AwEsOmE.... he has some really neat stuff in there, including
custom-made classes for Internet Explorer extensions.

Enjoy!
 
Well thanks, but....uhhhh the only samples I see are in VB6 , I
uninstalled VB6 years ago. Heck I dont even know where my disk are.

I dont see a .Net sample unless I am missing something ...
