Dear All,
I am developing a plugin for firefox browser. I need to access the hardware plugged in the client system.
I have a plan to user XPCOM to interact between the browser and my hardware. I have achived this in Windows using the ActiveX
technology. I have give how i have done this in Windows below
In Windows.
I have created a activex dll which will be registered in the
client's computer. Whenever the user go to my web application page, in
the button click event i will create object for my activex component and
i will call a function in the dll. I used VS 6.0 for development.
Inside that function i have created a dialogbox and show that dialog
box to the user. It is a modal dialog box. The Internet Explorer will be
the parent window for my dialog. To get the Internet Explorer window
handle, i used GetForegroundWindow() function avaible in the Win32 API.
Once i get the IE' window handle, i will set this handle as my parent
window of my dialogbox. Now I need to achive this in Linux.
In Linux :
XPCOM is the equivalent for the ActiveX. I am able to create a
.so file using XULRunner SDK and able to call the function via firefox
browser. I have created a small function which will return a string to
the calling function. Every thing is working fine. Now the next step is,
I need to create a dailogbox inside my function, and need to show my
dialogbox as a modal window of the firefox browser. To create dialogbox
i am using the KDevelop IDE. Is there any function like
GetForegroundWindow like in Win32API for Linux? Hope now you understand
my problem.
In linux i am using wxWidgets to develop the dialog box. But
when i create dialogbox object, my brower is terminated. Please help me
to resolve this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Sundaram. D
