I am hosting an CHtmlEditCtrl control within a VC++ application (Visual
Studio 2008). When presenting content in the control, i receive the
following warning:

"Content within this application coming from the Website listed below is
being blocked by Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.

about:security_XXX.exe (where XXX is the name of my exe).

Any ideas what is causing this and how I can present content in the HTML
control without this warning? I am not familiar with "about:security_XXX.exe"

Thanks.

Isn't it obvious from the error message? Plugging "Internet Explorer
Enhanced Security Configuration" into your favorite search engine should
yield some reading material, e.g.

necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly

I understand that this message is coming from Internet Explorer Enhanced
Security Configuration and that adding the URL to the list of safe sites will
solve this issue.

However, I'm looking for a programmatic way to supress this error message
and just have the CHtmlEditCtrl not display the "offending" content. If the
user has "require https for all sites in this zone" set for Trusted Sites,
then the URI cannot be added "about:security_xxx.exe"

I'd try this:

It's not clear precisely what your pages are doing that triggers the
problem. If it's, say, ActiveX controls, you would want to override
IInternetSecurityManager::ProcessUrlAction(URLACTION_ACTIVEX_RUN).
