[platform-swt-dev] SWT Browser: Executing Applets not working

[Sebastian Docktor <sebastian.docktorl@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi SWT-Guys,

When I try to open a webpage within an SWT Application (Browser) I get
an Warning message from the Internet Explorer 8 saying "At least one
Active-X Controll Element is not displayed." Opening the same page in
a normal Internet Explorer environment everything is shown correctly.

I also checked the points from here
http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserapplets
but still the same thing.

Is there an option to disable/bypass all security features for the
Internet Explorer, so that
the applet within the page is executed correctly?

Here is the code that I used to reproduce the problem:

	@Test
	public void testSWTBrowserApplet() {
		//Checked: http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserapplets
		
		//Using IE8
		//Java 1.6.0_16
		//Windows XP SP3
		//SWT 3.655
		
		Display display = new Display();
		Shell shell = new Shell(display);
		
		GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout();
		gridLayout.numColumns = 1;
		shell.setLayout(gridLayout);

		GridData data;
		Browser browser;
		try {
			browser = new Browser(shell, SWT.NONE);

		} catch (SWTError e) {			
			display.dispose();
			return;
		}
		
		data = new GridData();
		data.horizontalAlignment = GridData.FILL;
		data.verticalAlignment = GridData.FILL;
		data.horizontalIndent = 1;
		data.grabExcessHorizontalSpace = true;
		data.grabExcessVerticalSpace = true;
		browser.setLayoutData(data);

		shell.open();
		
		browser.setUrl("http://www.javatester.org/version.html";);

		while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
			if (!display.readAndDispatch())
				display.sleep();
		}
		
		shell.dispose();
		
	}


Thanks
Sebastian
