I would think that the "signed in" and "signed out" status is determined
based on some Session Infromation.

Hi
I am creating an IE Toolbar using ATL,COM and WTL without using
MFC.Now I wanr to add a feature that whenever an user will sign in or
signoff from a particular site(suppose yahoo.com),the buttons on the
toolbar will be changed.Like yahoo.After a valid sign in this toolbar
will have different buttons and after signout it will have different
buttons,everything like yahoo toolbar.these buttons will allow the
user to go to his personal pages as well as they will be having drop
down menus which will be populated dynamically by latest alerts or
news.Can anybody tell me how to proceed?Should I connect to
database,The database is in MySQL.I don't know how to connect to MySQL
database and retrieve the datas also.Is there any easier way?
Since your toolbar doesn't support MFC, and most IE toolbars are not
written using MFC, you may want to ask this in another newsgroup. But
your toolbar needs to subscribe to IWebBrowserEvents2 and receive
notifications where the browser is navigated to.... if navigated to
"signed in" page, user has signed in, if navigated to "signed out" page,
user has signed out. Then you can update your toolbar accordingly. I
don't see how MySQL enters into any of this, and anyway, don't know
anything about MySQL.
