IE ToolBar

[source]

Hi,
I would like to create a toolbar button in IE 6, on clicking it will
hightlight the content (only text) of the page and then I would like to
manipulate the text and copy it to clipboard.
Can anyone advice where should I start for this.
Any site or documentation that will help me to get started. I downloaded
Platform SDK and Internet Dev SDK.

There are a couple of extensive articles on the code project website.
The platform is I.E. 5.0 and later I believe. Here are the links:

http://www.codeproject.com/atl/ietoolbartutorial.asp (good start for
general toolbar development knowledge)
http://www.codeproject.com/wtl/toolband.asp
http://www.codeproject.com/shell/2find.asp (great once you've got the
basic skills, but not for the faint at heart!)

To download the source code you need to be a code project member (it's
free to sign up). You'll have to dig through the source code to
determine how to do what you're looking to do, but I think you'll find
your answers in one of those projects.

Note that on the message board thread for the 2find project a user
complained the the uninstall feature of the 2find toolbar uninstalled
his entire desktop! Apparently, when you uninstall it deletes
everything in the folder at which it was installed, so be sure to
install into an exclusive folder. It's an excellent resource though.

Best,
