I don't know if this is the place to ask this, but since the bulk of my programming is in ASP/VBscript, let's give it a try...
I currently have a web-based phone directory for my company, complete with search engine, all developed in ASP/Vbscript.
I'd like to now develop an app that can run either in the system tray or in the background or something, that will be like a quick-tool that the user can click to search for a phone number in the directory.
I'm also looking for a way to put this search page inside of a borderless window, without any of the trappings of Windows' gui... (with the close button in the upper right corner, file menu et. al, etc.)
The closest I can get to doing this is using javascript to open a new window with nothing but top bar (disabling the menus, addressbar, back button and other toolbar buttons, etc.) But I'm wonder what it would take to get this into the systray so that users can get to the program quick...
emphasis on least amount of user interaction to get a search result... hiding the windows menu/toolbar elements is just to keep the user from getting distraced from the functionality of the search engine... keeping things clean and neat![[smile] [smile] [smile]](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
I've also asked the question in thread250-988883
