Making a Visual C++ Wizard and getting Security warning....

[mr.sir bossman]

I am making a Visual C++ wizard...
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/c2a19k26.aspx

..and I am having a problem with security. My webpage loads into the Visual
C++ template wizard(new project) but I get the error "To help protect your
security, your web browser has restricted this file from showing active
content that could access your computer. Click here for options."

How do I turn this off?

I get the same message with a third party set of components that installs
a wizard. I haven't been able to get it to go away, though it doesn't
seem to hurt anything either as the wizard runs normally.

Exactly. It just has to be something in the wizard process I am forgetting
to do...God help me I can't find it :(

In case anyone wants to check my work I used the below link(best site could
find) to do my wizard:

It(appwizard on site) also does the same thing. :(

This is more an issue with the browser than with VC++, no? I think the
"problem" is that your page either hosts an ActiveX control (look for
<object>) or a script block (<script>).

I might be wrong, but I think that the error is tripped when the browser is
about to download a control (or script?) that is not already present on the
box:

Yes, that is exactly what is happening, VC++ host a webcontrol(new project
wizards) and it is tripping an error when it hits the script in my page...The
question is, how do I tell VC++ webcontrol not to do this.

I compared his wizard to WTL and Ogre3ds wizard and the code isn't that much
different...I mean besides no error that is. I just don't know where I am
getting it wrong in the process.

Quote Microsoft:
Author HTML Pages
Visual Studio has an HTML editor, which supports a design view as well as a
source view, and gives you a practical way to edit the visual components of
your wizard. Wizards can utilize any number of HTML features and we include a
stylesheet, which you can also customize. You can include custom elements in
your pages and reference external sites; however, you should keep security in
mind. The wizard pages run in a custom zone of Internet Explorer. This zone
allows execution of JScript code and access to safe-for-scripting ActiveX
controls, but it disallows many other operations. For example, accessing a
non-safe-for-scripting ActiveX control will result in a 'gold bar' showing up
on your wizard.

BTW, I tinkered around with my code and it becomes safe if I add just <link>
to my head section of my HTML file. It's weird.
