bho

I need to retrieve, in my Win32 standalone program, a list of currently installed Internet Explorer add-ons (Browser Helper Objects), and - if possible - their enabled/disabled status. Since anti-spyware programs (or e.g. Autoruns ) can get this list from somewhere, is there a simple way to request this list programatically ? EDIT : Thanks to @ Stefan , who pointed me to the right registry keys ( all HKLM ): // BHOs HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\Browser Helper Objects // IE toolbars HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar // IE extensions HKLM\Software

I'm completely new to developing IE extensions with Browser Helper Objects. I managed to create a BHO that successfully inserts a script tag that references a javascript file in the head of the HTML page (see code below). But the script tag just sits there in the DOM and the external javascript file is not executed. Is there any way to tell the browser to run the external javascript file? Thanks! Code Details: I call the following method on the OnDocumentComplete event: void CHelloWorldBHO::InsertScriptTag(IDispatch* pDispDoc) { HRESULT hr = S_OK; // query for an HTML document. CComQIPtr

I've written two objects, a deskband toolbar and a bho for IE. The goal is that the bho shows up the toolbar after installation. Microsoft's approach is to use pBrowser->ShowBrowserBar(&vtBandGUID, &vtShow, 0); This method is nice to show and hide toolbars which got already activated via the addon manager but does not work for deactivated addons. Is there a way to do exactly the same thing as the addon manager does (enabling / disabling specific addons) just programmatically? You should clarify your question. Writing code to activate add-ons that the user has specifically disabled could be

IE can fire onscroll event when using Document Mode : IE7 or IE8, but fail to fire onscroll event when using Document Mode: IE9 . I also register the onscroll event on documentElement, it reacts the same way. The BHO class uses: public IDispEventImpl<3, CHelloWorldBHO, &DIID_HTMLWindowEvents2, &LIBID_MSHTML, 4, 0>. And sink the event: BEGIN_SINK_MAP(CHelloWorldBHO) SINK_ENTRY_EX(1, DIID_DWebBrowserEvents2, DISPID_DOCUMENTCOMPLETE, OnDocumentComplete) SINK_ENTRY_EX(1, DIID_DWebBrowserEvents2, DISPID_NAVIGATECOMPLETE2, OnNavigateComplete2) SINK_ENTRY_EX(1, DIID_DWebBrowserEvents2, DISPID

How can I rename the name of a browser helper object. The normal information in the properties of the dll are all fine. However when I open Internet Explorer to view the Addons the name of my Addon is NameIEBHO Class The DLL is signed The VERSIONINFO is set (it includes CompanyName, FileDescription, FileVersion, InternalName, LegalCopyright, OriginalFilename, ProductName and ProductVersion) What do I have to modify to change the name shown in Internet Explorer?
