IE Toolbars, is this possible, programmers? and what will it cost?

yes it is possible. price should be arround 1.5k and it would take like 2 weeks to develop it... hit me on icq if interrested.

I can put something like that together for you, icq me at 33375924 or email me at woj[@]wojfun.com please.

do a search on the board fucktard

http://www.adultwebmastertoolbar.com/custom.shtml

Can easily be done

HOWEVER
My suggestion to you: do a few searches on GOOGLE
then go hireing someone.

Anyone done one in VB?

I can create BHO's and have seen plenty of C++ toolbank code
but can't find much on VB being able to create them.

Anyone know the score?

i have such a thing, first i thought this was great, but hell, it slowed down everything, even in beta where just a few users were using it. my advice is:
get a very clean a fast toolbar, dont overload it!

atasy - sent you an email, haven't heard back, though.

Walrus - do me a favor don't use the word fucktard (or anything like that) in the same post with ANYTHING from my company, please. Thanks.

you DONT want it done in VB. go wtih delphi or c++

and a lot of people can code it, but make them show you a completed project of equal or great c++/delphi ability before you start shelling out cash or even wasting your time waiting for the project to be completed.

be willing to pay more for good code too, its worth it. good code shouldnt slow down the browser, or anything like that, as someone mentioned. speically just a toolbar that essentially just sits there, maybe it will slow down a bit while it updates itself.

You can do it in VB, but it's actually a lot easier to do it in VC++. Some of the features just aren't there to make it as robust in VB without a bunch of API calls.

I'd make an XML service backend on the web server side, and have the toolbar read that. Not a big deal at all.

BTW, I've made them in both languages before based on an XML web service like I talked about.

Edit: Here's a link that might help: http://www.mvps.org/emorcillo/cod/shell.htm

But like Why said above, I'd stick to VC++....it's a much better bet.

it's a proven fact that vb sucks. there are VB decompilers so don't bother to make anything useful, in a month you'll see every moron playing with your work...

notepad ++

Thanx a bunch Fletcher. Some good code on that page, could do
with a little more documentation but looks good so far.

I'd guess that the people talking about slowness were using
their BHO's to send surfing details back to a central server. If it's
coded correctly no matter what language the toolbar should run
on very little CPU. If they are posting info back to their server
then this could have become a flood of data quite quickly and if
posted with poor code could have held up the client as well as
the server.

VB is a fine language for what it's designed for which from where
I stand is Rapid Application Development. I'm not here to defend
any language but I'd have to guess that flashfreak has not used
many. It's easy to say "proven fact VB sucks" but it's harder to
not sound like a moron when saying such a broad unsupported
statement ;-)

btw my VB interface-less BHO's work quite well with very little
resources being used.

It's a given that C++ in the vast majority of situations is going to
be faster, it quite simply is a lower level programming language
with much faster access to the resources it needs. So I guess
C++ being faster means that "it's a proven fact VB sucks". If I
thought like that I'd be poor. How did this turn into a language
debate...

Thanx for the info again.... I'm sure toolbands in VB will be quite
easy once I have a method worked out. I'll move onto C++ after
giving VB a decent crack at it.

Yea and there arent C decompilers, or flash decompilers or delphi decomplilers, or java decompilers....

VB has the market cornered on decompilers...yup...

So let me ask you, exactly how much did you smoke before you posted this.

Can be done. My uncle has made a few of them. Lemme know if interested, I can hook you up with his contact. He aint cheap tho!

oh btw....

There are only decompilers for earlier versions of VB.

No decompiler for VB 5, 6 or .NET

-Ben

Also you can load it into a disassembler and convert it to assembly and work backwards that way.

And yes there are tools for "decompiling" .NET applications as well.

Sure anyone that knows ASM can do almost anything.

The danger is more kiddies being able to download a working
decompiler that actually gets the orginal VB code.

The .NET decompiler does look interesting...
Good thing I don't use .NET :-)

-Ben

damn Seth, you ate that kid alive.

why the fuck does everyone reply to this post and not my programming post? mine pays more.

Checked through the VB code from Emorcillo and it looks to be
pretty robust rather then just a hack. I'll have to test that his
OLELib works on different configurations but should be fine. Given
the C++ code is more straightforward but this VB seems to
contain all the same functionality without being too long-winded.

For those playing with it checkout the ExplorerBands example.
