It features [Tcl/Tk] support via [TclBridge], drag and drop, [COM] plugin support with event hooking (please see http://www.liquidtoolbar.com/plugins.html), [DDE] support, "floating" command support, nested commands, auto-hide, and full scriptability.

[RS] Was surprised to hear that the above widgetry was all implemented in Visual Basic...

[Joe Mistachkin] Actually, it uses [Visual Basic] for the front-end, [Visual C++] for [TclBridge], and [Tcl/Tk] scripts to automate it. The [COM] plugins/hooks can be written in any [COM] component producing language.
