pro_vb thread: turning off Active X Control messagebox


Message #1 by andrew.c.watts@b... on Thu, 12 Jul 2001 14:53:29
If you are loading the control from a web browser you need to register the
control and get a signed certificate. Other wise you have to manually change
the securities setting of each browser. "Download Signed ActiveX Controls"
and so on...

You need to register the control on that PC as safe for scripting and
initialisation. This can be done with an installation program
(Installshield, VB deployment package etc. or simple reg file.). On the dev
PC you will need to re-register everytime you recreate the OCX.

Note that strickly speaking you are taking responsibility for the control
actually being safe, if you mark it as safe. That includes whether somebody
could use it maliciously even if that was not your intention or expected
functionality... I doubt whether anyone looks into it to that depth however?
Does anyone?

I hope that's what you meant? Please ask if you need more.
Bernard.

I have a WIN 32 application with a hosted web control. The
Web cobtrol must use script to access system and custom DLL's.

How do TURN OFF the yes/no messagebox that says:
An ActiveXControl on this page might be unsafe....
