Tool Bar for browsers

anyone know how to build a browser tool bar?

Which browser?

i dont know alot about programming but my guess is c programming to make the toolbar on the browser. you should try it on internet explorers as i think they are so many around they are easy to apply to the browser. then move onto another browser and build on that.make sure that i dont get it! i hate toolbar browsers that are not useful for me. like that spyware search thingy. i had to take so much effort to remove the stupid thing.

Yah, I agree. Only toolbars from the top companies like Yhaoo, Google, Alexa are useful and safe. Never install toolbar from an obscure website. More likely than not, it's spyware.

I dun intent to build tool bar like those search engines you guys had mentioned.I intent to build a tool bar exclusively for clients of certain project.Any good referrence sites to suggest?Thanks a million!

There are a lot of tools out there for creating your own custom toolbars, although I have no experience with any of those tools. I have some idea behind how they would be created, although I haven't worked on a graphic web browser, only lynx, but it's not much different from creating toolbars for window/frontend programs.It would require experience in (D)COM programming. - (Distributed) Component Object Model, most general purpose languages can work well (personally I would use C++ as it's the language I know, but Java, VB, etc can do this too) and maybe ActiveX (for IE, but not necessary).I think you'll be better off trying out the tools for making this, just search for "creatie custom toolbar" in google and you should see a number of sites useful to you and hopefully provide a means of creating what you want. (hopefully free of charge).Cheers,MC

People generally don't like toolbars, however since you're developing it for clients I assume it will be deployed in a business environment where all the computers will have this toolbar?If so, which browser is installed? Any relatively recent browser would probably make toolbars rather cumbersome, as IE, Firefox, Chrome and Opera all cut down on unnecessary UI elements, which includes toolbars. In fact, there is no way to develop a toolbar from Chrome, but rather buttons. Firefox and IE still allow toolbars, although they are discouraged. Not too sure about Opera.Perhaps another solution would be more useful? However if you insist on creating a toolbar, take a look at the Mozilla Developer Center (for Firefox) and MSDN (for IE).

If it's for a business environment , I wonder if it's possible to make a windows toolbar to have the same functionality, then it would work on all browsers?As I know, if you would want to create a toolbar for every browser, you couldn't create one toolbar for all the browsers, you would need separately create it for Internet Explorer, for Mozilla Firefox. Opera has widgets which you could develop and I don't know about chrome as I never needed anything for it, the lighter it is the better for me as I am using it as default browser to browse useless stuff and Opera for everything else not useless
