Modifying connection properties

Click the Connection tab to configure settings for an HTTP or a TCP/IP connection.

In the Operation Mode panel, select:

•

Object Menu to replace the menu bar of an application container (other than Internet Explorer) with that of the ActiveX Display control object. For example, if you open the ActiveX Display control in a VisualBasic container, the menu bar will change to that of the ActiveX Display control.

•

Auto Save to automatically save the changes that you make to the ActiveX Display properties. These changes are saved in the configuration file that you entered in the Language | Local Configuration File dialog box.

Note

If you do not check this checkbox, your modifications will be saved to the default ActiveX Display configuration file (hfdsp.cfg).

•

Auto Connect to automatically connect the ActiveX Display control to the server the moment you instantiate the ActiveX Display control.

Click on the Advanced button to configure your Connection mode settings. Another set of options will open. If you are connected to a session, these options will be disabled. Changes to these options are valid only for the current session and will not be saved as their values will be controlled from the server through the HTML page parameters) In the Connection mode panel, select the:

•

SSL Secure checkbox to encrypt the data between the ActiveX Display control and the host. Checking this box will have no impact on the Persistent connection and vice versa.

•

Persistent checkbox to establish a TCP/IP connection between the ActiveX Display control and the host. Leave this checkbox unchecked to establish a non-persistent HTTP connection.
