 Last reviewed: November 6, 1997
Article ID: Q176343

  • Internet Client SDK, version 4.0
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer (Programming), versions 3.0, 3.01, 3.02, 4.0
  • Microsoft ActiveX SDK, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When attempting to stop a URL moniker-based download during the IBindStatusCallback::OnStartBinding callback method by using the Abort method of the download's IBinding object, the download continues.

RESOLUTION

To abort a download immediately after OnStartBinding is called, return E_FAIL from OnStartBinding.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The first reference to the IBinding interface is received in the IBindStatusCallback::OnStartBinding method as the second parameter. It is not possible to take this IBinding interface and then immediately Abort the download by calling its Abort() method.
