Hi,
  Since I'm new to Netscape/Mozilla, please be gentle 8-).

I have a ActiveX control (C++) used for report printing. Now that we are going to support Netscape/Mozilla, I have to come up with a solution for the porting/conversion of the activeX control. The possible solution I found include

1. ActiveX Plugin found here (part of MPL)
   http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/plugin.htm

This solution works very good, for the version I tested (1.7.3). However, it require different version of this plugin for different version of Mozilla ???.

2. re-implement the ActiveX control in Java. this is going to be a major re-work for me (not familiar with Java), so I hope I won't go there. or,

3. Implement the ActiveX control in XPCom. I prefer this method, since I have total control. So, I am wondering, did anyone have similar experience convert an ActiveX to XPCom?

The ActiveX control I have mainly use ATL/STL, no MFC. From the code I examined (nsISample), I might have to port the whole activex, instead of just creating a wrapper for it. Please, any insight would be greatly appreciated.
