ActiveX or Netscape Plug-ins ?

[ahari]

I want to develop a plugin/ActiveX that will enable me to view a particular file in a browser (IE/Netscape).

I already have a dll that transforms a *.abc type of file into readable content (html etc.). I have created a wrapper application for this dll that allows the user to specify the name of the .abc file and then calls the dll to show the contents using the WebBrowser control. But what i want is a plug-in sort of a thing, so that if i open the .abc file in the browser directly, it should call the dll and execute the results in the browser (Netscape/IE)..i think that is something like a plug-in.

I have looked at the netscape site and used the netscape sdk to create a plugin, but i have not been successful with the samples. I can create an ActiveX control, but how will the browser know that it should execute the ocx when it comes across a file of type .abc ?

Any tips or anything so that i can even start off with something will be greatly appreciated..

Thanks
