Dear barneyman,
I am sorry to bother you.

I wrote a BHO success. It can capture link. But i dont know the way to communicate between BHO dll with my application.
Could you teach about it ?

Thank you very much

Thank you for your response quickly.

But my application doesn't run.
I want that my application will be call run when BHO captured the link.
Same as IDM or Free Download Manager.
I read the source code of Free Download Manager, but may be they implemented complex ( difficult for understand).

you could use CreateProcess() [ http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682425(v=vs.85).aspx ] and pass it information on the command line

I tried this function.
But it seems BHO cannot call run application.
Because Protected Mode Internet Explorer: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb250462.aspx#dse_stlip

then you may need to write your application as an out-of-proc server, or service with desktop access
