I am trying to develop a command button that would appear on windows explorer. I can do this for an NSE but what I want to do is make the button visible on every explorer window. I want it to work for windows 7 and vista. I know it is possible as I have seen office Groove do it, and I am not sure if I have to implement the IExplorer(...) interfaces or just create a simple BHO (Browser Helper Button) that is registered for windows explorer and not IE.
Any help is appreciated.
I am trying to do the same thing, with no luck so far (My question).
What i did manage to learn is that "BHO is the way to go". After trying tons of different ways i found it is the simplest way to hook to all windows explorer instances.
Within your BHO code you could filter out instances of IE, but there is probably a registry way to do it also.
Good luck, and let us know if you figured it out.

I have a potential requirement of modifying the Windows 10 Start Menu structure. I know that you can customize the groups and tiles: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/deploymentguys/2016/03/07/windows-10-start-layout-customization/
My question is if there is any possible way (through API or any other option) that allows to, instead of only pinning windows desktop applications, display your custom code.
Example: we have a group called My work which pins windows applications, but we also have a group called Discover which displays custom code, not windows 10 apps.
I think it is not achievable, but want to give it a try and ask the community. Thanks a lot in advance!
Modify start menu should not be a feature of common UWP development. The start menu should only be controlled by customer themselves. So it's not possible for you to think about develop this kind of feature.
And as you've already see that OEM can modify OEM group. Actually you can find related info from here.
I am trying to click on a tab in windows application using blue prism(automation).I am unable to do that. Please help
What kind of tab?
I'm working on a robot that uses windows based application and I was able to make it work.
You need to be creative whit Application Modeller. Whit widows applications theres not much of a problems, almost anything can be done.
I have some major problems with mainframe apps, terminal sesions like - ICBS.
When you spying an element try to do it using TAB index property and follow the pattern how it changing from element to element. May be it help you to develop some kind of logic.Just an Idea.
I honesty don't know how to put this. In mango version of windows phone internet explorer shows a black semi transparent layer when a link is tapped how can I avoid this.
Well, I do clearly understand what you are telling, but unfortunately, you can't avoid that. It is simply an indication that the link has been clicked. For usability sake.
This is for existing web-pages/sites. But if you are trying to develop an web-app using PhoneGap or something else, then you can change these links as JavaScript/jQuery events instead, and that should probably avoid it.
A client is reporting a problem using our Web-Based application. It seems that their users are opening Multiple tabs while using the site. It leads to a problem where they lose track of what tab they are on and sometimes enter invalid data or view data in the wrong context believing that they are on a different tab.
Though I have proposed different solutions for them they only want to consider one solution: disabling tabbed browsing when their users are on our site, and enabling it again when they are not.
Is such a thing possible? All the users are using Windows (XP, I believe, although possibly W7) and Internet Explorer 7+.
I wasn't sure if there is a Windows Scripting solution that can accomplish this, or maybe an ActiveX control that has this capability.
EDIT: 2012/08/13 One feature I am now considering is a custom Internet Explorer application. Something similar to what the poster is talking about here:
http://www.symantec.com/connect/forums/ie8-virtual-layer-custom-ie-settings
and here
http://www.vandyke.com/support/tips/ieobject.html
This is new ground to me so if someone with experience here has any ideas I would love to hear it.
No, you cannot do this. IE will only allow the user to make choices around how tabs work, not the website. It does not have a feature for controlling this on a per-site basis.
If modifying the application to behave differently when it detects this happening is off the table, your client (the people) can just disable tabbed browsing completely using administrative tools.
Greetings,
I'm working on a preview handler for Office 2007, Vista and Windows 7. I'm basing my code off the following
MSDN article.
The "guts" are done as it was pretty straight forward. I've been testing in Windows 7 (64-bit) Explorer. One thing I've noticed is the preview handler appears to "lock" the Explorer window and doesn't allow it to resize.
My handler derives from FileBasedPreviewHandler, the Control from FileBasedPreviewHandlerControl. The #Load override simply does:
MyViewer viewer = new MyViewer();
viewer.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
viewer.SetFile( file.FullName );
Controls.Add( viewer );
A couple things I've tried, a variety of times is to set, in the design view, the AutoSize and AutoSizeMode to true and GrowAndShrink
Now, the funny thing, i swear it worked once. Now, I can't get it to work at all.
If anyone has any input, that would be great. I think I posted all the relevant info, but if I missed something vital, let me know. I appreciate your attention to this question.
-Cheers!
Apparently, by setting the AutoSize and AutoSizeMode as state above, does work. Explorer is simply temperamental. What I found was if you get strange behavior, you can use task manager to close the explorer process than relaunch it.
For the record, what I found works 99% of the time is to to:
make sure all Explorer windows areclosed (w/ preview panel off)
unregasm/remove from ga
build
add to gac/regasm
run Explorer and check preview panel
rinse & repeat
I'm also using a throw-away win forms app to test changes that don't involve the integration.
Hope this helps someone looking.
-Cheers!
