   Insert image into Hotmail email composition window

Bidding Time:
13/09/2005 23:21 - 23/09/2005 00:00
Budget:
$30-100
Status:
Closed


Job Type:
C/C++, Visual Basic, .NET, Windows
Description:



The application or application extension is desired to insert an image
(smileys/emoticons) into a browser window (IE 6.0+) with a Yahoo!Mail, Hotmail,
Gmail HTML email compose area.
Eventually, this program is expected to be like http://www.postsmile.com or
http://www.smileyworld.com. Right now, we only need the functionality as
described below.
A toolbar button installed into IE 6.0+ triggers a floating window which
displays a scrolling list of animated GIFs (at least 5). The animated GIFs are
loaded from a list of URLs (can be hard-coded). This window is in a VB/VC++
shell or a DLL which can be called from a toolbar button in another application
(such as Outlook), as well as IE.
When the user clicks on an image/GIF in the list, the program will insert a
reference to that image into the rich-edit HTML control for email composition
(textarea) for Yahoo!Mail, Gmail or Hotmail.

For example:
>
and the image appears in the Yahoo!mail rich text composition window.
The rich-text controls in Yahoo!Mail,Hotmail, and Gmail accepts cut/paste from
the Windows clipboard.
You can test this by selecting an image in IE, right-click, select Copy, and
then paste into the email composition window. This is demonstrated here:
http://email.about.com/cs/hotmailtips/qt/et082801.htm

Summary:
1. Look at www.postsmile.com.
2. Add a new toolbar or toolbar button in IE 6.0+
3. User composes an rich-text email in Yahoo!mail, Hotmail, or Gmail.
4. Clicking toolbar button triggers a floating win32 window with a
scrolling list of images loaded by URL references.
5. Clicking on an image inserts a copy of the URL reference and a copy of
the image into the Email window at the location of the blinking caret in the
email text editing window.

This can be done in VB or VC++ for the floating window, as long as the window
can be activated by a toolbar button in another Windows application like
Outlook. A future goal is to be able to insert images into an Outlook email.
Within the floating window, feel free to use an IE control or any other means of
displaying the scrolling list of images.
