Hi,

I want to consider adding an applications companon web-site to Trusted
Zone for IE 6/7 in 98/XPSP2/Vista. Check out this MSDN blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2005/01/26/361228.aspx

They are acknowleging the validity of setting an application's access rights
programmatically "as part of a product installation".

Everyone agrees that there are very legitimate uses for things like,
popups, writing to statusbar, prompts, writing to clipboard, etc. In fact
anything that would allow a javascript to get a string back to AHK, seems
to be on someone's threat list. Hell, even javascript itself might not work
for an application just installed by an end user.

Everyone also agrees that an application that one buys or trys, and
installs, should work. (Microsoft not withstanding).

Of course you would not want to mess with ones registry if at all possible.

So this MSDN blog talks about the method:
IInternetSecurityManager::SetZoneMapping().
The syntax for the method looks like this:

HRESULT SetZoneMapping(DWORD dwZone, LPCWSTR lpszPattern, DWORD dwFlags)

The dwZone parameter specifies the security zone; lpszPattern specifies
the pattern, and dwFlags indicates whether to create or delete the
mapping.

There is also a C# example in the blog post.
Could someone dll that please?

So, I would like to see some, maybe a lot, of stuff on the AHK forum
about how an application can set the stage so that it could actually
work from the start. Plug-n-play, as they say.

Getting a pass from popup blockers. Ways to popup without being blocked.
Making sure that a newly intalled application can:
write to statusbar
write to clipboad
use javascript prompts
use javascript etc.

I would be especially interested in all the ways that a javascript or
web page, php etc, can simply get a string/var back to AHK.

I have had poor results with COM vars in some cases. If your script,
redirects, for example document.location.href = someothersite.com,
the var does not return. If your script does not finish very quickly,
you need to sleep, god knows how long, before starting the get var
part of the COM. Frames also usually fail.

And then there are Titles and XPSP2 and fullscreen/popups and the
SetTitleMatchMode regex because the Title isn't the Title anymore.
But that's for another post later.

Thanks

Hi tank,

Thanks. Your COM is the best thing I have gotten from this forum.
It beats the Google/Yahoo toolbar Edit1/Edit2 play play.
I use it to inject all my js. I use the ACC.ahk flavor though because
it uses Hwnd WinExist("A") instead of Titles. After you digest and try
about 10 of these snippets, you thank god when one finally works.

You know it's not about page loads, it's about redirects, server based
ajax downloads which take indeterminate time, document.writes, and
many things that I use that take awhile to process.

About fullscreen titles, I'm gonna make a separate post about that.
Did you know that IE6 XPsp2 screws up fullscreen/popup titles? Probably
IE7 too. Set your IE browser to fullscreen or use -k with run. Then check
what WinGetActiveTitle gives you. Even though you can't see the title,
(it's fullscreen after all), Microsoft thought they should add the URL to
the front of the Title. So, all the TitleMatchMode is ruined. A 2 mode
greatly reduces control. A regex mode needs to skip the
URL%A_Space%-%A_Space%, excepting when the Title is not being
messed with. It's a real fix. I am working on that later. I would like to
see a new mode like 1, which always ignores URLs at the beginning of the
Title. Maybe even including WinGetTitle also.

which is why my functions rely on the information from the document.title
