The fact that my app happens to render using HTML content is not really the issue. The issue is: the settings for IE browser should be separate from the IE control. Microsoft already lets the IE control behave differently with the SetHostFlags() API. For example, in the Control Panel there is a setting, "Enable visual styles on buttons and controls in web pages", and there is a SetHostFlags(DOCHOSTUIFLAG_THEME) which you can call to override this. Microsoft just needs to enhance this API with a few more flags, e.g. DOCHOSTUIFLAG_ANIMATION. -- David
From: jiangsheng[MVP] on 27 Sep 2006 23:50 you may be able to override the setting by providing an alternative registry path in IDocHostUIHandler::GetOptionKeyPath or IDocHostUIHandler2::GetOverrideKeyPath Method.

I'm not sure it's convenient to override IDocHostUIHandler2 from a MFC CDhtmlDialog. -- David |
