Title: PowerBASIC COM DLL as browser plugin?
Post by: Petr Schreiber on February 15, 2009, 08:27:58 PM
Hi all,

I would like to ask you about advice on topic of creating DLL directly in PB9, which could serve as web browser plugin.
I am especially interested in 3D rendering to web page... but I did not found any info on creating even less megalomanic plugin.

Is DLL plugin the way to do such a thing today (I would target just Windows platform, but all 4 major browsers).

I googled for it, I found a lot of information about various plugins, but very little on their creation.
Any hints would be appreciated.


Thank you,
Petr
