How do I make an Internet Explorer add-on that doesn't display a toolbar?

Question

I'm trying to make an IE add-on that works only in background, without a toolbar panel. I do not want my add-on to display a toolbar panel because i do not need it. I found an example add-on in Delphi, but how do I make it to work in the background without a toolbar?

Answer 1

The example project you provide implements a Tool Band. It implements the IDeskBand interface to display a toolbar in IE.

For the functionality you are asking for, you need to implement a Browser Helper Object instead, which is a completely different beast, and a very different implementation than a Tool Band.
