Need help with VB6 method of changing IE settings from VBdesktop app

1 New Member
Hello,

I am building a custom web browser app using VB6 and the web browser control.

In order to keep the custom browser from timing out while trying to open, I am required to open my IE browser, go to Tools, Internet Options and change my settings so that IE does not look for the most current web page. I have to set it to "Never."

Can anyone advise me how to programmaticall y change the settings within the VB code of my browser app?

Many thanks in advance.

Greetings, Kirk!

This seems to suggest going/staying with browser of your choice:

Look for this title: Using the WebBrowser Control from Visual Basic

Please post your code if this does not work. Reply, nonetheless, if it does...

Have fun!

Hi All, I'm having some trouble with a .lib file in a project I'm working on. The file contains a class which implements the singleton pattern. To implement it I've declared a static pointer to the class called instance outside of the class.
