Hello all

If I use the VDS browser element in conjunction with the NOACTIVEX parameter and I visit a site which does have ActiveX items on it (like Youtube.com), I get the following warning:

Sounds like you need to change your IE security settings for the default Internet Zone. Or better yet, if you trust the site in question, add the site to the Trusted Zone.

In IE6 > Tools Menu > Internet Options > Security Tab.

I think that in the struggle for greater security, the problems of people who might use the Internet Explorer control in a program have been overlooked.

I paid quite a lot of money for some article submission software. Although it will submit stuff automatically and I can minimize it and get on with something else, I keep getting pop-up windows about script errors, despite the fact that the settings in IE itself are to not display script errors. I'm guessing there is nothing the programmer could do about those either, because the program appears to run some process on a timer that closes these windows after a few seconds if they appear.

I'm wondering if when the IE control runs in a program, it uses some default security settings not the ones the user has set for the browser.

Hi All,
There are limitations in Microsoft's Web Browser Control. The Web Browser Control does not allow you to do everything that the full Internet Explorer does. Also Microsoft was forced to change the way that ActiveX controls are launched inside of the Browser Control's container since the time that Jules wrote his VDS DLL using that control.
