I have a few projects that I want to go further on. I am really interested in the Roxio Easy CD 6.0 Interface, the NeoDVD interface and the Yahoo and Google tool-bars. I am trying to understand how those projects are possible. I can't find any examples of code to allow me to interface my application with with the IE interface or the Windows System bar. I also am stuck with Square windows. I really want to be able to add a cool GUI like the ones listed above. Can anyone help me, shed some light on my issue or point me in the right direction. Jamie

Hello Jamie, Now suppose ur using VB(u didnt mention if u were), u can create cool & interesting UI. Now Roxio & neoDVD uses the same techniques. All u need is to create regions using some APIs like createEllipticalRegion etc. Use the link below to download a sample program made by me which can help u to create interesting forms instead of the boring rectangular. Follow the link... <A HREF="http://mzubair.f2g.net/downloads/NewInterface.zip">http://mzubair.f2g.net/downloads/NewInterface.zip</a>

Java ? You mean the slowest language around ?

lol ... poor java you can do those type of projects using WIN32 API or Visual C++ & MFC. There are lots of examples using any of those. Not sure if you'll be able to accomplish the toolbar with Java without the use of a little JINI thoguh

What did the programmers of the Google and Yahoo bars use to code their integrated toolbars? Jamie

I believe they used the MFC. A MS Tutorial is available at: <A HREF="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/faq/ietoolbar.asp">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/commctls/faq/ietoolbar.asp</a>
