Intercept the auto-refresh of a folder in HTML folder template

[George Valkov]

Can anyone please send me the code to intercept the auto-refresh of a web
page or folder (controlled by HTML folder template), or tell me where can I
ask this question?

Here is my problem:
I have created a custom HTML folder template "folder.htt" that works inside
music folders and allows me to play back music. Unfortunately if Windows
Explorer refreshes the window, the music will stop. It's very common that
the folder will automatically refresh from time to time and I want to
prevent this when I am playing music.

Note:
When the user tries to refresh the Windows Update web page, during
installation of updates, a confirmation dialog box is displayed. May be the
code from Windows Update will do the job... If I just can find it?

Operating system is Windows Server 2003 Ent.

you can't use html to intercept or prevent windows from refreshing. ActiveX
is use in windows update for that purpose only. i know one way to solve this
though. Open the folder options or any commands that required post-back
operations to stop it from refresh.

goo luck!

Operation that requires a post-back operation?
You mean: open a window, that will disable (lock) the current window, untill
colsed?
Impossible! I need to be able to control the HTML page:
Send commands like:
play, pause, stop on the media player control;
select files, change selection, delete items on the file list control
interact with HTML ellements: click buttons, etc.


Currently I have these ActiveX controls loaded:
Media Player
CLASSID="CLSID:22D6F312-B0F6-11D0-94AB-0080C74C7E95"

File and Folder List
classid="clsid:1820FED0-473E-11D0-A96C-00C04FD705A2"

I can install other controls, if I know what code to insert.
What is the ActiveX control used in Windows Update?
