Hello there

I have to build an Internet Explorer Plugin
from an existing ActiveX control. But I have
no information about that. I even do not know
whether IE Plugin is currently available.

Please give me a hint.

Thanks in advance.

If you mean Netscape plugins, they don't work since IE 5.5/IE6.0
"Netscape-Style Plug-ins Do Not Work After Upgrading Internet Explorer" [1].
Although there is some hacks to make it alive, as plugins host (plugin.ocx)
still exists in windows system folder, and after few registration steps
becomes working.

There is no such thing as IE Plugin, but there is quite a number of
Browser Extension kinds - Browser Helper Objects, Explorer Bars / Bands
/ Toolbands, toolbar button handlers, context menu item handlers and so
on. What is your "plugin" supposed to do?
