Convert ActiveXControl to downloadable plugin

bwoods

Anyone point me in the write direction as to how this is done?

Cheers.

hi,

I'm not sure if this is what you want but heres what I did to create a new plugin.


Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestProt]
@="URL:TestProt Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestProt\DefaultIcon]
@="TestPro.dll"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestProt\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestProt\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\TestProt\shell\open\command]
@="c:\testprot.dll %1"

Cavaets:
1: your need the reg settings on the client pc
2: the dll on the client pc
3: navigate to protocol ie myprot:myinfo instead of [url]http://[/url]
4: The parameters pass from your browser are handled by the %1
5: Note this is Win2K reg file you need to change the
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
to what ever value is need for your OS or just add the keys manually
6: I belive you can implemet the INETProtocl but I can't get it to work hence the method above

If you search in MSDN under plugin protocols or mime you will find some stuff

I'd be interested to know how you got on

amen
