I have a customised browser that is embedded into an application.  
Everything works well for normal web page access.

The embedded browser is now going to be used when logging onto a web site.  
Navigating to an SSL page seems to work ok but I would like to be able to 
indicate on the embedded browser that they're using a secure connection.

I would have thought it must be possible to determine from the browser that 
it's an SSL encrypted page, and what level of encryption it's using.  I've 
seen references to an undocumented function in wininet but I'd like to do 
this through the TcppWebBrowser and / or navigate via the ActiveX interface 
directly.

Is it possible to determine the SSL status?

Also, is it possible to suppress the certificate warning message if 
necessary?
