Ignore Proxy Settings and OfflineMode in CWebBrowser Application   

Hi,

i've an MCF 4 Application with VS 6.0 C++ which uses a CWebBrowser.
I've implemented an own IInternetSecurityManager ... at get rid of the 
ZoneSettings of the IE. My application shows only local sites from an 
dedicated webserver with bind on localhost. So i don't want that it does'nt 
work if the IE on the Host System is set to "offline" and i want to ignore 
the proxy setting (because i'm local but can't change the settings in the 
host IE)... 

Any ideas? Interfaces? Examples?

Thanks!

See KB article KB226473 "How to programmatically query and set proxy 
settings under Internet Explorer".
See InternetSetOption(INTERNET_OPTION_IGNORE_OFFLINE)

Re: Ignore Proxy Settings and OfflineMode in CWebBrowser Applicati   

Thanks Igor for the answers.

one is not working:
I've added this lines before my m_browser.navigate(....)

HINTERNET hInternet = InternetOpen("MyApp", INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT, NULL, 
NULL, 0);
InternetSetOption(hInternet, INTERNET_OPTION_IGNORE_OFFLINE, NULL, dwSize); 
InternetCloseHandle (hInternet);

but it shows the "Offline -> Stay Offline / Connect" Dialog...

Where is the mistake? 

Thanks

Try

BOOL ignore = TRUE;
InternetSetOption(NULL, INTERNET_OPTION_IGNORE_OFFLINE, &ignore, 
sizeof(BOOL));

Hm, 

does not work... !? Must do this at a special position in the application?
Or is there something to do before / after?

Thanks
