Hi friends,
I have developed an image viewer ActiveX control in vc9. It's working fine in IE but it's not working in other browsers like Mozilla, Netscape. I came to know that I need to write Plugins for working ActiveX controls in Mozilla Firefox etc.
So Can you please tell me how to write a plugin that allows to host an ActiveX control in Mozilla Firefox.
Waiting for your valuable reply.

Regards,
Laje

You'll want to look at this site: Plugin for Hosting ActiveX Controls[^]. The site also has some interesting links and also to the source code for that plugin. I'll bet bet this will be a valuable source of information for you.

Modified:
This one's better: http://code.google.com/p/ff-activex-host/[^]. The site sports a links to the source and full documentation.
I think the second link is better as it specifically targets FireFox and the information on the first link seems a bit outdated.
