Opening a BMP with "Shell.Internet" question

Post by Patrick Mast »

Hi,

Please consider this source:

Code: Select all | Expand

#include "FiveWin.ch"FUNCTION Main()   LOCAL oWnd, oActiveX   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "FiveWin ActiveX Support"   oActiveX = TActiveX():New( oWnd, "Shell.Explorer" )   oWnd:oClient = oActiveX      oActiveX:Do( "Navigate2", "c:\test.bmp" )   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWndRETURN nil

This always shows this dialog:
Image
How can I prevent this "Open" dialog box and just show the image in the Shell.Explorer activeX?

Thanks!

Patrick

Patrick,

I don't think you can get rid of the warning dialog without the user resetting their security settings in IE.

How about writing a temp HTML file with a link to the graphic?

Or, can't you just display the graphic in a FWH window?

Regards,
James

Test this

file:///C:/test.bmp

Yes, that's what I did after posting the question. :)

Code: Select all | Expand

#include "FiveWin.ch"FUNCTION Main()   LOCAL oWnd, oActiveX, cImage:="c:\test.bmp"   DEFINE WINDOW oWnd TITLE "FiveWin ActiveX Support"   oActiveX = TActiveX():New( oWnd, "Shell.Explorer" )   oWnd:oClient = oActiveX      MemoWrit("c:\temp.html",'<html><img src="'+cImage+'" /></html>')      oActiveX:Do( "Navigate2", "c:\temp.html" )   ACTIVATE WINDOW oWndRETURN nil

But I thought that maybe we could set a propertie or something else in the ActiveX control to disable that dialog box. It would be simpler than creating a temp HTML.

That would be simpler, but if Microsoft allowed that, anyone could disable the security warning. I'm not sure what threat there is in dispalying a bitmap, however. Perhaps there is no type checking in their warning system.
