Activex control and IE
-
hi all, I have an activex control( a video player), which i embed in IE using and its class id. So whenever IE(page) opens,an information bar comes at the top of the window.we have to Right Click>>Allow Blocked content.Then player starts playing cam files. I need to change options of the information bar.Instead of Allow Blocked Content option ,i need to place PLAYER's name. is it possible? Also after Allow Blocked content option is selected,Window prompts for whether to install the Activex control.Can i do it programatically ?..anyways.. Give me some suggestions. Thanks in Advance, Sunita

The 'allow blocked content' prompt is probably coming from the Local Machine Lockdown feature in XP SP2. In Internet Options, go to the Advanced tab, scroll down to Security, and check 'Allow active content to run in files on My Computer'. If the prompt goes away, your users will not see this if accessing the page from another machine (whether over the Internet or a company intranet). You cannot automatically install the ActiveX control. This is quite deliberate - to allow this would be a serious security hole. If you're using this on an intranet site, you could use a standalone installer to install your control using whatever management tools you have available. Note that users not running as administrators will not be prompted to install the ActiveX control. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder
