browser helper object,dll problem
Posted by nelzone on December 3rd, 2003


Hi folks!


I am developing a Browser Helper Object for Internet Explorer(C++).
My BHO (which is a Dll, loaded by Internet Explorer on startup)
uses API- functions from a software-module I need. These functions
are implemented as dll, too. Now: For some reason this dll does not load
a text-file, which it actually schould in terms to let the software work
properly. I checked the PATH, the filename etc. but for some reason
it wont even touch the file. When I write a C program the api works fine but
with the dll it has problems.
Does anybody know what's the problem? Are there restrictions for Dlls?
Thank's a lot for every response.

mfg,

nelson

IIRC, browser has tougher security context for scripts/BHO(?) objects than
regular EXE. One of restrictions is that you cannot access file system from
there.
