Article ID: 926133

APPLIES TO

  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming) 6 (SP1)
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0
  • Windows Internet Explorer 7



SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario. You host an ActiveX control in an iframe object. The ActiveX control was built by using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and uses GDI+ as a graphic library. In Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or in Windows Internet Explorer 7, you open the HTML page that contains the iframe object. You click an HTML element, such as a button, that is located outside the iframe object. In this scenario, you notice that the ActiveX control redraws when you click the HTML element. The redraw process produces an unwanted flickering effect on the ActiveX control.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, enable the frame transparency for the iframe object. To do this, add the allowTransparency attribute to the <IFRAME> tag. To do this, use the following syntax:

<IFRAME allowTransparency="true">

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
