Guy's,

I started messing around with a script that creates buttons and/or menu items in IE. MS has a tutorial on this. In the tutorial the GUIDGen.exe tool is used to create a GUID. Is it possible to script the workings of GUIDGen.exe? All other stuff is just simple registry writes but a new GUID is needed before any registry writes can be done. Never did anything with calling an API from a script so I have no idea where to start.

Adding Toolbar Buttons to IE
Adding Menu Items to IE
Get GUIDGen.exe here

A registry suitable GUID to use within kix is what I'm looking for.

A quote from the readme included in the download.

The GUID Generator component lets you generate globally unique identifiers, or GUIDs, that you can use to identify your Microsoft® ActiveX® classes, objects, and interfaces. GUIDGen does this by calling the CoCreateGuid application programming interface (API) function to generate a new GUID. The resulting GUID is copied to the Clipboard in one of four formats for insertion into your application’s source code.

The four formats are:
•Defined in an IMPLEMENT_OLECREATE macro, which allows instances of a CCmdTarget-derived class to be created by Automation clients. For example:
// {CA761230-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223}
IMPLEMENT_OLECREATE(<>, <>,
0xca761230, 0xed42, 0x11ce, 0xba, 0xcd, 0x0, 0xaa, 0x0, 0x57, 0xb2, 0x23);

•Defined using the DEFINE_GUID macro, which is commonly used in programming that does not use Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). For example:
// {CA761231-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223}
DEFINE_GUID(<>, 0xca761231, 0xed42, 0x11ce, 0xba, 0xcd, 0x0, 0xaa, 0x0, 0x57, 0xb2, 0x23);

•Declared as a statically allocated structure. For example:
// {CA761232-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223}
static const GUID <> = { 0xca761232, 0xed42, 0x11ce, { 0xba, 0xcd, 0x0, 0xaa, 0x0, 0x57, 0xb2, 0x23 } };

•Specified in a form suitable for registry entries or Registry Editor scripts. For example:
{CA761233-ED42-11CE-BACD-00AA0057B223}
