windows mobile 6.5 internet explorer disable zoom slider

  • Hi,

    is it possible somehow to set Internet Explorer to a fixed zoom position and "hide/remove" the zoom slider..

    I need it for a web application, and dont want to "resize" the zoom level everytime i start the application.

    best regards Jens Nygaard

  • Good afternoon Jens,

    Although, I have not yet found a way to disable the browser "Zoom bar", let me share the below information with you, in case it helps.

    Setting the below registry value to 0 (zero) will revert back the browser to the 'old' IE look and feel:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer]
    MSHTML REG_DWORD 1

    E.g.

  • This works Great Jaques,

    Thanks for your help so far, but i'm hoping you have one more in the tank.

    When i change this setting, i have to put in a value 00 00 00 00, which is fine, but it appears to disable the frames within the webpage i have built and redraw it quite squashed.

    Does your genius extend to this issue or will i have to rebuild the page to cope?

  • Good morning Andrew,

    Can you please elaborate when stating «  it appears to disable the frames » or even better, provide some HTML code to illustrate your point?

    For your information, I conducted the following test and quickly confirmed that the <frame> tag is supported :

    • I opened up the Registry Editor found in the TweakIt Settings applet and did set the MSHTML value to 0

      è   è  

     

    • I then opened the below attached HTM test page and got:

      è

      frame test.htm (compressed)

    I do hope this helps.
    Kind regards,

    Jacques

  • Hello together,

    does somebody know how we can disable the zoom slide bar? We can´t go to old look of internet explorer because the application doesn´t function correct with old internet explorer style.

    Have somebody an idea?

    Thank you

    Andreas

  • Setting the below registry value to 0 (zero) will revert back the browser to the 'old' IE look and feel: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Internet Explorer] MSHTML REG_DWORD 1 you need to download and install a 3. parts registry editer like PHM Registry editor..

  • Hello Jens,

    sorry but we can´t go back to old style of internet explorer see my post before.

    Second question how i can disable the input panel for adress (i mean where you insert the internet side for ex. www.google.de)? In old internet explorer you have the setting hide toolbar - yes i know it goes automatically but if you go to new page you see it again and we doesn´t want it.

  • Hi have somebody an idea that the adress input panel always show instead of hiding?

    Thank you
