Hi, does anyone know very roughly how to write a plugin for Internet
Explorer like the Google toolbar plugin? I would like to know what programs
I need to write the plugin (Visual Studio .NET???) and also if there are
any decent books out there on this subject.

I have trawled the web trying to find information on writing IE plugins but
I can't find anything particularly useful, not even on MSDN! I've also
trawled Amazon for books on this, but most seem to be not very good or just
out of date.

Is COM or DOM something to do with all this?

Thanks, Amy.
 
The DLLs to do this type of development are in the Windows API. You would be
best served to download the Platform SDK. I know this is available through
MSDN, but I am not sure if it is available on the Microsoft download site.
