Re: InternetErrorDlg does not save password

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

What bothers me even more: Internet Explorer (version 7 on Vista) displays
the same dialog and the password is saved*.

Probably because WinHTTP is used.

Hello,

I am using this code to ask user for web proxy password (error 407):

bool get_password(HWND wnd, HINTERNET handle)
{
DWORD ret = InternetErrorDlg(
wnd ? wnd : GetDesktopWindow(),
handle,
ERROR_INTERNET_INCORRECT_PASSWORD,
FLAGS_ERROR_UI_FILTER_FOR_ERRORS |
FLAGS_ERROR_UI_FLAGS_CHANGE_OPTIONS |
FLAGS_ERROR_UI_FLAGS_GENERATE_DATA,
NULL);

return ret == ERROR_INTERNET_FORCE_RETRY;
}

It works ok, the next time I request to download something, WinInet
authenticates automatically, I don't get 407 at all anymore.

The problem is, even if I check the "Save password", the password is not
really saved. So, when I close and open my program again, the error dialog
will be empty and I have to enter the password again!

What bothers me even more: Internet Explorer (version 7 on Vista) displays
the same dialog and the password is saved*.

What do I have to do to have passwords saved like Internet Explorer?

* I've also checked with CredEnumerateW - it shows as
target=Microsoft_WinInet_PROXY/REALM

Thanks,
Egon
