Opening a BMP with "Shell.Internet" question
Posted: Sun Aug 24, 2008 02:20 PM

Hi,

Please consider this source:

#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 oWnd

RETURN nil

This always shows this dialog:

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?

Test this

Hey James,

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

Code: Select all Collapse

#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 oWnd

RETURN 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.
