Hi aLL

how can I do to enable and disable IE proxy just in one clik button with
Visual Basic please.

thank you.

The web link below is for VB6 (if God forbid you are using it).

The web link below is for VB.Net: The following article is directly
from that page.

Internet Explorer lets you specify proxy settings. In the Tools menu,
select Internet Options. Select the Connections tab and click the LAN
Settings button. The goal is to figure out if the box indicated by the arrow
in the picture is checked.
Function InternetProxyEnabled looks at the Registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet
Settings. If the value of ProxyEnable is not 0, then the box is checked.



' Return True if the internet settings has ProxyEnable =
' True.
Private Function InternetProxyEnabled() As Boolean
' See if Internet Explorer uses a proxy.
Dim key As RegistryKey = _
Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey( _
"Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Int ernet " & _
"Settings")
Dim keys() As String = key.GetValueNames()
Dim result As Boolean = _
(CInt(key.GetValue("ProxyEnable", 0)) <> 0)
key.Close()

Return result
End Function

While you can probably read the setting this way, I doubt it will take
immediate affect.
The proper way is via the Inet API but I don't know the exact calls.

You're probably right. The two namespaces that come to mind are System.Net
and System.Web. System.Net.WebProxy looks promising.
