  • Question

  • Hi all,

    I have created a created a webbrowser on a form and pointed it to "http://www.verb2verbe.com/FrenchConj.aspx?verb=aider&tail=&ref=0".

    when i use the web form to change a verb, part way through navigation i get an the error:

    Title         Windows Internet Explorer

    body         one or more activex controls cannot be displayed because either:

                       1) Your current security settings prohibit running activeX controls on this page or,

                       2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls

                    As a result  the page might not display properly.

    Can anyone help? I am bit of a newbie so aplogies if this is a simple thing.

  • Hi, you can follow this procedure to enable activeX controls on your web pages:

    This should only be applied in an intranet and not internet as you don't know what code will execute from an activeX control that comes from the web.

    Also, most peoples browsers don't allow activeX controls to run so if you deploy a webpage for others on the internet to use and it has activeX controls on it, they will probably be disabled on the clients browser.
