ActiveX file save dialog blocked by pop-up-blocker

Hi all,

I have this ActiveX that upon the user pressing a button raise the Microsoft Common Dialog to save a file.

In IE 6, this works like a champ. With IE 7 the dialog is consequently suppressed by the pop-up blocker mechanism. The funny thing is that it is consistent, even if I turn of the pop-up blocker. The yellow bar still appears in the the top of the ActiveX on the web page.

Is this a known bug in IE 7, is there a workaround to this

Thanks,

Cheesle

hi,

To view the dialog box, you may require to hold the CTRL key until the dialog box appears.

Thank you for your suggestion, but I have tried with both CTRL and CTRL ALT down when I click the button to invoke the dialog.

My problem is probably that I have this ActiveX which is hosted by IE, but inside the ActiveX, it is hosting the Webbrowser2 control, this is where the dialog is instantiated from. Apparently, the Webbrowser2 interface has its own copy of the popup block setting or

Got the same experience. My pop-up blocker is OFF.

To get the dialog box back though, you can just press Spacebar or Enter. I don't know if you noticed that a yellow strip message that says "Press Spacebar or Enter to activate and use this control." pops up when your dialog gets blocked. Once you do that in a session though, your subsequent file saving dialog boxes won't be blocked anymore. I haven't figured out what's up with this issue though.

I know of this yellow strip "Press spacebar...", but I never get this here. Only the message about the pop up blocked.

Good to know I am not alone though. :-)

Regards.
