How to make a "Button" type plugin?

MYIE2 supports "Button" type plugins, which will be placed on "Ext Button" toolbar. The plugin is called when user clicks on the corresponding button. The 'Button' plugin could be implemented using the following methods.

1.COM Object:

When user clicks on the button, MYIE2 will query the Com's IOleCommandTarget interface and 和IObjectWithSite interface，passing the IWebBrowser2 pointer of the current page to its IObjectWithSite::SetSite function，then call its IOleCommandTarget::Exec function. It's similar to IE's implementation of button. Please refer to MSDN for more information.

Sample Plugin.ini:

[General]
Name=ComButton
Author=bloodchen
Version=1.0
ModuleType=COM
FileName=ComButton.dll
CLSID={96E78121-9FF2-466D-B6CD-4038CAC1BB79}
Comments=Com type 'Button'
Type=BUTTON
HotIcon=hot.ico
Icon=cold.ico

2.Script:

When the user clicks the button, MYIE2 will run the script on current web page.

Sample Plugin.ini:
[General]
Name=LastModified
Author=bloodchen
Version=1.0
ModuleType=SCRIPT
FileName=LastModified.htm
Comments=See last modified date of current page
Type=BUTTON
HotIcon=hot.ico
Icon=cold.ico

3.Exe File:

When the user clicks the button, MYIE2 will call the file with the parameters of current address and handle of the main MYIE2 window. For example, the file is abc.exe，then MYIE2 will call abc.exe -h=23424 -u=http://www.yahoo.com, in which 23424 is the handle of the main MYIE2 window and http://www.yahoo.com is the URL of the current page.
