I am trying to state my problem very clearly.I want to retrieve a set of fonts. They are not found in the System's default font directory, and also their path is not written or set in the registry. But still they are displayed in the font dialog box of any editor. Actually, in order to view...

Hi there,Answer: You can't. This feature is a part of the windows control, not of the HTML specification. I'm not even sure you can change this on your PC at all, let alone through the browser. I can see why you may want to change this but if you need to so badly you should rethink your...

Hi folks,I need to develop a BHO, which should be executed by clicking a button in a IE toolbar. I'd like to do this in C#, because I have some experience in Java and the two languages are similar. I read through some threads, which talk about this topic but none of them could make it...

Hi,I am currently developing a BHO in C# which should be trigger only when the user clicks a button in IE. So far, I created a new button in the normal IE toolbar by a new registry entry. My question is now, how can I trigger the BHO (for testing the same as in the article: "How to attach to...
16 Aug 2010 by Roger Wright
There's a good article about creating BHOs in C# here[^] at CodeProject, and several more are easily accessible via Google. Microsoft offers step-by-step instructions for adding a button to the IE Toolbar here[^]. It should be an interesting project; have fun! :-D
16 Aug 2010 by usermj87
Thanks, Roger for your reply. But my actual problem is to create a toolbar and after that to connect it to the BHO. I've already implemented the BHO regarding the article you told me and I know the msdn site, too.

22 Nov 2010 by Dave Kreskowiak
The solution sounds rather obvious. Your code has to make sure that it finds the correct control before setting focus on it. If your code is looking at the current window, it shouldn't find the control, in which case, it should do nothing. It sounds like your code is assuming that control is...
23 Nov 2010 by Dave Kreskowiak
A problem you have is that you're assuming that the browser is the active window when your page loads. That's simply not the case. A user can start loading your page and switch windows to something else by the time your page loads and starts executing.You cannot use the "current window" to...
