I have an ActiveX control which is designed to * Search for nearby wireless networks * Create a wireless access point * Manage network adapters I would like this plugin to work in Google Chrome/Firefox. In IE; I can use the following code to embed: <object classid="clsid:33FC4347-8118-4DB5-BFBE-8FCF2C96A997" width="32" height="32" id="thectrl"></object> and I create a wireless network as follows (in JavaScript): thectrl.createNetwork("test",0,null,"NONE",3); The ActiveX has an IDL file, and outputs to OCX format. How do I turn this into a plugin for Google Chrome/Firefox? If you want to

The Get Silverlight page now shows Dec 31 2016 as the end of support for Silverlight in Safari. That seems to be unannounced news and it is unclear if it was set by Apple or Microsoft. The date matches the Firefox end of support for NPAPI . Q1: Could a Silverlight app continue to be viable (and installable) as an OOB app on the Mac beyond that? Or does the inevitable loss of broswer NPAPI support mean the complete end-of-the-line for Silverlight on Macs? The post here seems to offer some hope, but it is quite old. Q2: Can anyone point to a source/announcement of that Safari end of support date

Now that the NPAPI that the VLC plugin uses is being discontinued in Firefox and that Google Chrome has discontinued the NPAPI for long is there any solution to stream RTSP live video inside these browsers? Thanks a lot for your help on this. Regards, Tiago Dias After a long time digging and following this topic I have came to interesting results. At this point the best option seems to be an RTSP proxy that changes RTSP in a way that makes it compatible with something supported by web browsers (WebRTC, etc.). I have collected the following solutions: https://github.com/Streamedian/html5_rtsp

There are known ways of writing ActiveX plugins with Delphi, but the ActiveX itself poses a lot of limitations in browsers other than IE. So I was thinking - how to compile a plugin in NPAPI format, natively compatible with Chrome/Firefox? Intent of the plugin is to allow to embed a VCL form into the HTML page and be able to bi-directionaly communicate with this form using JavaScript. E.g. clicking a button on a form would call JavaScript function on the page, and JavaScript functions on the page could send events to a VCL form. How this can be achieved? There's a list of existing NPAPI

The Gecko functions NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall / pluginthreadasynccall are not working for me on Safari 5.1 (Firefox works) - my function does not get called. I'm trying to make a function call back to JavaScript after performing a long-running task on another thread. How can I make this work? Yeah, we had the same problem with Safari 5.1 in FireBreath (which you should definitely look at if you're not familiar with it); NPN_PluginThreadAsyncCall no longer works. You haven't specified which platform you're on, so I'll show you what we use on both Mac and Windows. On windows, we create a message
