This software offers a comprehensive framework that enables users to customize Internet Explorer with their browser extensions quickly and easily. It supports IE 6, 7, and 8 (32- and 64-bit), and provides the ability to add menu items, toolbar buttons, context menus, toolbars, and side-bars.
Add-in Express is a great tool for IE add-on development and deployment, with a coherent set of .net components, visual designers, and deployment tools that make your work easier. It integrates all Internet Explorer extensibility features in one solution with a strong, easy-to-understand architecture and a lucid interaction model with Internet Explorer objects.
With Add-in Express, you can create Internet Explorer browser helper objects (BHO), bars, and toolbars in one integrated project or in separate ones. You can customize vertical or horizontal Internet Explorer bars with any .net controls and create custom toolbars using any .net controls, including your UserControl components.
You can also extend Internet Explorer context menus with your own items, add new items to the built-in Tools and Help menus, extend the built-in IE command bar with your own buttons, define custom keyboard shortcuts, and share data blocks over Internet Explorer threads and processes.
Deploy and update your IE add-ons using MSI-based web-enabled setup projects, and make your IE add-ons thread-safe, interprocess-communicative, isolated, and secure. Add-in Express directly supports Visual Basic .NET (VB .NET), Visual C#, and C++, as well as Delphi Prism. Overall, Add-in Express is an excellent tool that can simplify your IE add-on development and deployment tasks.
