bstrProtocol

A System.String that is the protocol name. For a list of supported protocols, see Supported Protocols and File Types.

lProxySetting

A System.Int32 that is one of the following values.

Value Description
0 Do not use a proxy server.
1 Use the proxy settings of the current browser (valid only for HTTP).
2 Use the manually specified proxy settings.
3 Auto-detect the proxy settings.

Remarks

This method fails unless the calling application is running on the local computer or intranet.

Example Code

The following code example uses a list box to allow the user to set the Windows Media Player proxy setting for the HTTP protocol. The AxWMPLib.AxWindowsMediaPlayer object is represented by the variable named player.

  

' Load the list box with the proxy settings in order so that their index in the
' list box matches their value.
proxySettings.Items.Add("Do not use a proxy server.  (Value = 0)")
proxySettings.Items.Add("Use the proxy settings of the current browser. Valid for HTTP only.  (Value = 1)")
proxySettings.Items.Add("Use the manually specified proxy settings.  (Value = 2)")
proxySettings.Items.Add("Auto-detect the proxy settings.  (Value = 3)")

' Change the proxy setting for the HTTP protocol when the user makes a list box selection.
Public Sub proxySettings_OnSelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles proxySettings.SelectedIndexChanged

    ' Store the index of the setting from the ListBox
    Dim lb As System.Windows.Forms.ListBox = sender
    Dim setting As Integer = lb.SelectedIndex

    ' Change the proxy setting. 
    player.network.setProxySettings("HTTP", setting)
    
End Sub

// Load the list box with the proxy settings in order so that their index in the
// list box matches their value.
proxySettings.Items.Add("Do not use a proxy server.  (Value = 0)");                                             
proxySettings.Items.Add("Use the proxy settings of the current browser. Valid for HTTP only.  (Value = 1)");
proxySettings.Items.Add("Use the manually specified proxy settings.  (Value = 2)");
proxySettings.Items.Add("Auto-detect the proxy settings.  (Value = 3)");                                       

// Change the proxy setting for the HTTP protocol when the user makes a list box selection.
private void proxySettings_OnSelectedIndexChanged(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    // Store the index of the setting from the ListBox
    int setting = ((System.Windows.Forms.ListBox)sender).SelectedIndex;

    // Change the proxy setting. 
    player.network.setProxySettings("HTTP", setting);
