To make a goood start you should lear BHO - browser helper objects - this
will allow you to create toolbar. Then start investigating IPC techniques,
because once user have several IE windows opened you should notify each
toolbar via some IPC channel about new e-mail.

Hi Vladimir
I have make a toolbar which i can plug with internet Explorer.and all
the buttons and dropdowns have been placed on it.Now i want to move

Some times i feel that using WinInet classes in VC++ i can do that
work.
I have write some code which extract the page html,which u r requesting
to the server.
Now my work is (suppose i want to send a request to the server for auto
login first) to search the form which post the information of the user
name and password to the server.
then i can send a url with username and password appended with the url
to which i m requesting.
But the problem start here In the login page of Website the Ligin forn
send this request via POST method.then how i can send the url with
appended info to the server,Does it will work.Plz tell me just about
that and if u have another way to Extract the data froma web site.i m
too worry about that,if u have some resource links plz tell me.

So what's the problem? Try to login to your server and capture data which is
sent to server using sniffer. Then you are able to do the same from your BHO
using wininet/winhhtp.
