creating a browser plug in like quicktime or flash player or pdf reader or smiliar

[muharrem]

Hi all, I need to create a component which will be callable from a/any browser when it sees an object tag in downloaded html page like the following or like My plugging will display an image file in a special format and give some responses to the user interactions whit mouse and do likes zoom-in, zoom-out, rotate, transform etc. I don't know start from where? I know c++ and c#. The library for the image processing that I need to use written with c++. If any guru out there can guide me the road-map that I should follow, will be appreciated in a highly tonnage. Thank in advance.

As it needs to be callable from any browser(?), you wouldn't create your plugin with C#. To be honest, I wouldn't really look at C++ either - for something like this, I would probably go with raw C.

Ok. But start from where? How can I make my software known by browser(s)? Remember that when a browser reads something like following alt : test.wav it plays the wav file with QuickTime or Windows media Player or Real Audio or what else installed on that machine, capable of playing wav sound. I need a similar thing. Or should I go with active-X or java applet something? Thanks

Why not give Silverlight[^] a try?
